It's hard to believe but the start of the 22-23 school year is just about a month away!! It's time to start introducing some of the newest members of the West Elementary family.
Up first: Mrs. Hailee Speir joins the Spartan family! Mrs. Speir will be entering her 3rd year of teaching. She has been lucky enough to spend all three years in 2nd grade. Hailee loves the 2nd grade age group and seeing all the growth that happens throughout the year.
Mrs. Speir grew up in Broken Arrow where she spent her first two years teaching. She is SO excited to become a Spartan! In her free time, Hailee loves reading, traveling, scary movies and hanging out with her husband and their dog, Luna.
Mrs. Speir joins the 2nd Grade team of Mrs. Kinnamon, Mrs. Hamilton, Ms. Cardwell, Ms. Banister, Mrs. Diffee, and Mrs. Fritz!
Hailee, we are SO thrilled you are a member of the West family!!


And that's a wrap on the 2021-2022 school year!
On behalf of the staff of West Elementary: Thank you for sharing your children with us this year and being a part of the West Family! We have loved each and every moment. Learning goals were smashed, memories were made and friendships bloomed.
We hope you have a safe and fun summer! Stay up late, get the extra scoop of ice cream, read a few books, play a bunch of games as a family, and make those memories. We cannot wait to open our arms and hearts to you in August.
With Lots of Love,
Ms. McNamara and all the Westies

Happy National School Librarian Day to two of the very best, Mrs. Levasseur and Mrs. Rector. 👏🏻
These ladies do much more than simply check out books. They’ve been known to dress up as chefs for a special book tasting, will search and search to find the right book to hook a reader, serve over 1,000 kids at West, think outside the box and love their students.
We are so lucky to have both of these fantastic ladies at West Elementary and Intermediate. We appreciate you today and every day! ❤️💙


Have a great long weekend!!


Just a reminder! The End of the Year ABCs start tomorrow!


Two more days to send those cereal boxes and help us BEAT NORTH in collecting the most cereal for the Bixby Outreach Center!
Did you know that the cereal collected last year fed our community for almost a FULL year?

Just a reminder, the cereal drive begins TODAY! We will be collecting boxes of cereal for the BOC. We are competing against North Elementary and Intermediate! On Friday, April 15th we will set the boxes up like dominos for students to celebrate their accomplishment of collecting these items for a good cause! Lets go West!
