We are looking for two artificial Christmas trees, at least 6 feet tall, that may be ready for a new home.
Our students will be decorating the trees for a fun school competition, so if you have one tucked away that you no longer use and would be willing to donate, please let us know!
We would love to give it a new life at West Rowan Elementary and let our students show their Christmas spirit!

We are thankful for our community and members who serve and protect. Twenty-five years ago, our nation experienced a terrible tragedy. Many people lost their lives that day including firefighters, police officers, emergency responders, and citizens who showed incredible courage helping others.
Today, we remember those who were lost, but also remember something powerful: when we faced a very difficult moment, people came together to help one another. We showed kindness,courage, service and UNITY. We have been discussing “unity” this month!
Today, we remember that each of us can make a difference by helping and caring for others. - Dr. Williamson

A huge shoutout to these amazing young men for stepping up during our bus evacuation drills and helping our younger Wildcats safely exit the bus!

We practice these drills so that everyone knows exactly what to do in the event of an emergency. We are so proud to see our students demonstrating leadership, responsibility, and care for others. Way to Aim High and Swing Big, Wildcats!
