Shoutout to our WMS Student Council! Tonight, our School Board recognized these outstanding students for their many contributions to both school and community. From welcoming new students, showing appreciation to teachers, organizing a fall food drive for the Backpack Program, and partnering with Make-A-Wish to grant six wishes most recently — to providing Christmas support for community members and even working on a volleyball project for the school playground — this group truly goes above and beyond. What makes it even more impressive is that so much of what they do is on their own time, volunteering to make a difference. We are proud of their servant leadership and the impact they’re making! ❤️🤍 Pictured: Kasen B. Isabella A. Jazmin W. Meredith S. Ryan E. Bayne J. Jayda E. Alaina S. Sadie B Not Pictured: Ty E.

A big thank you to our new food service provider, OPAA! 🎉 They prepared a delicious dinner for our school board members before this week’s meeting and treated everyone to dessert just before the meeting began. We’re excited to welcome OPAA! to our school and look forward to all the great meals ahead!

A huge thank you to Airtight Insulators of Jonesboro for their generous donation of bottled water! With our area experiencing extreme heat, this thoughtful gift will help keep our students cool and hydrated as they travel home from school. We are so grateful for community partners like Airtight Insulators who go above and beyond to support our students and staff. ❤️🤍

Families: Students from Bus 78-Penguin are now loading a different bus and will be continuing on with the route. Thank you all for your patience. As always, the safety of our students and staff is our first priority.

Attention Warrior Families: Bus 78 Penguin Bus was involved in an accident this afternoon. ALL STUDENTS AND DRIVER ARE OKAY. Emergency personnel and school officials are en route. Students will stay with the bus until cleared by law enforcement. Students will then continue with the route on a different bus.

Westside was honored to welcome Jonesboro Mayor Harold Copenhaver today! 🙌

Mayor Copenhaver stopped by to visit with our Superintendent, Chris George, offering encouragement and support as we kick off the new school year.

He even brought along a thoughtful goody bag to help start the year on a positive note.

We are grateful for the strong partnership between our city and schools — working together for the success of our students, staff, and community! ❤️🤍
