We want to share a massive THANK YOU to everyone who donated to our recent Staff Appreciation week!
Because of your incredible generosity, we were able to provide lunch for all staff all week long. Seeing the smiles on our staff's faces as they walked into the breakroom was truly priceless.
We know how busy life gets, and your willingness to contribute, whether through funds, food, or your time, is what makes West Homer such a special community. We couldn't have pulled this off without you!

They say a school has a soul, but we know ours has a name: Ms. Liza. 🍎

Today is Administrative Professionals' Day, and we are shouting out the woman who keeps us running, smiling, and organized! From managing the morning rush to solving every "impossible" problem with a smile, Ms. Liza is truly the heart of our school.

We don’t know what we’d do without your kindness and your "magic," Ms. Liza! Thank you for all you do. ❤️
