West Carroll students from both our primary school and junior/senior high recently participated in a Special Olympics event at Huntingdon High School, alongside several area schools.
The day began with a special send-off at the primary school, where classmates lined the halls and outside to cheer on and support our students as they headed out for the event.
Students took part in a variety of activities including the softball throw, 40-meter dash, limbo, jump the brook, and the parachute, enjoying a day filled with movement, teamwork, and fun. West Carroll staff members accompanied students throughout the day, and the group also shared lunch together and spent time at the Carroll County Inclusion Park.
We’re thankful for this annual event that brings students together and creates meaningful experiences for all. A special thank you to our student media interns for joining in and capturing these moments to share with our community.

We want to thank our FBLA advisors, Ryan Mansfield and Erin Lewis, as well as our sponsors: Town of Atwood, Centennial Bank, and Robinson Trucking for all their support! We’re proud of how our students represented West Carroll and can’t wait to see what’s ahead at Nationals.!✈️📊

Second grade students created plant journals to record daily observations. We started with Day 1—placing our impatiens seeds in the soil. Now the growing begins! Can't wait to see them after Spring Break!

Kindergarten students in Mrs. Taelor Byer’s class received a special surprise visit from Richard the Turtle. Accompanied by Mr. Malik Cox, Richard quickly became the center of attention as students eagerly explored his habitat, examined his shell, and learned about his diet. While many were fascinated, some students were a bit unsure about holding him.
Despite the hesitation, the visit sparked curiosity, smiles, and excitement throughout the classroom. Both Mr. Cox and Richard seemed to enjoy the warm welcome and the opportunity to share a hands-on learning experience with the young learners.
