Today at WCES, we had the joy of celebrating our amazing coworker and dear friend, Dr. Jessica Williams, as she prepares to welcome her sweet baby girl into the world.
Our school family gathered for a beautiful baby shower filled with laughter, love, and excitement for this chapter in her life. We are so thankful to get to celebrate her.
Congratulations Mrs. Jessica - your West Carroll family can't wait to meet your little bundle of joy .💖
Students recently compared the city-states of Athens and Sparta, researching five categories including geography, education, government, and the status of women. Groups chose how to present their findings, either through a virtual presentation or a poster, then shared their work with the class.
Two city-states. One civilization. Very different ways of life. And a room full of students who can now tell you exactly why that matters.
This is sixth grade social studies at West Carroll Elementary. ☘️

Seventy-three students in the "First Frontiers" reading program recently hit a major milestone, reaching 75 books read or 75 Accelerated Reader points. The First Frontiers reading program, designed by Mrs. Pat Hudgins, sets a goal for all students to read at least 100 books or earn at least 100 AR points by May 8th.
To mark the occasion, Principal Dr. Jessica Williams and staff hosted a St. Patrick's Day Library Lunch, with green decorations and cupcakes courtesy of Mrs. Shelia Hilliard and Mrs. Kay Story.
But the numbers tell their own story. More than 50 of those 73 students have already surpassed the school-wide goal of 100 books or 100 AR points set for May 8. One student has read over 200 books. Another has earned more than 200 AR points. One student has crossed 400.
Every student who meets the goal will be honored at the First Frontiers Grand Celebration on May 18.☘️

West Carroll Primary went ALL OUT for St. Patrick's Day to show our incredible staff just how much they mean to us! 🎉
🔍 Staff took on an epic scavenger hunt searching for hidden leprechaun pics of Mrs. Jackie Wester — and Mrs. Sharlanda came out on TOP, finding all 10 to claim the golden prize! 👑
🟢 The lunch area was transformed into a sea of green with cakes, pies, snacks, and tons of treats!
💚 And the best part? Our students shared the sweetest, most heartfelt words about the people who inspire them every single day. It was a joyful and memorable way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day!
Happy St. Patrick's Day from WCP! ☘️

🔢 Infinite Fun, Infinite Learning
West Carroll Elementary marked Pi Day (3.14) with a full day of hands-on learning.
Ms. Madison McClure designed grade-level activities for 3rd through 6th grade that brought circles and geometry to life. Projects like using string to label parts of a circle, working through math challenges using 3.14, discovering why pi equals 3.14, reading Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi and Sir Cumference and the Round Table, and more. Every activity was connected to grade-level geometry standards.
And because no Pi Day is complete without pie our lunch ladies, Shelia, Tina, Kay, and Hope, brought in a spread of homemade pies for every student and staff member to enjoy.

🥧 3.14 reasons to love our WCES cafeteria ladies...but honestly, we lost count!
Happy (early) Pi Day from the best pastry chefs in the county!
Our WCES cafeteria ladies did it again! To help us celebrate PI day (a day early) they served the students and staff a variety of pies!
Yes, homemade pies- Apple, Chocolate Chess, Lemon Ice box, Chocolate Custard Pie, Chocolate Chip, Chess, and Banana!
And here's what makes this even more remarkable: these incredible women purchased every single ingredient, supplied every single material, and covered every single cost entirely out of their own pockets. Four generous, big-hearted ladies who wanted to do something special for our kids and staff because that's exactly who they are.
We are so thankful to have these Pastry Chefs at West Carroll Elementary!
Thank you Shelia, Tina, Kay, and Hope, you help make our school extra special. 🍎🍫🍋

Using problem-solving, teamwork, and a little imagination, the young engineers carefully planned their traps. The excitement continued as students created colorful “Wanted” posters that now decorate the school hallways, warning that a sneaky leprechaun may be on the loose.
Will anyone catch the leprechaun? 🍀

On 3.14, we will celebrate Pi Day. Although we won't be in school on March 14th, Mrs. Robinson's classes celebrated in the most delicious way possible, with our very own mini pies!
We kicked things off with the story of Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi and then got to work like true mathematicians! Students measured circumference, found center points, diameters, and radii. Using this information, each student wrote their very own formulas based on their discoveries! 📏📐
But the real magic? Using string cut to the length of each circle's circumference, students kept cutting diameter-length pieces… and every single time, they were left with 3 whole cuts and a little piece left over. Time after time. Circle after circle.
That little leftover piece? That's the moment it all clicked. THAT'S why pi = 3.1415…
Students didn't just learn about pi. They discovered it just like mathematicians did thousands of years ago. We couldn't be more proud of these junior high and elementary problem-solvers! 🎉

Last week, our Advanced Art students traveled to University of Tennessee at Martin to participate in UTM College Art Day. This was a wonderful opportunity that allowed students to enter work into a juried art show, take various art classes, and socialize with other art students from the West Tennessee area. Our students were able to take classes such as: Figure Drawing, Sculpture, Print Making, and Theatre.
West Carroll brought home two awards from the juried art show! 3rd place in Mixed Media as well as Honorable Mention in Sculpture. We are so proud of our Art program and our students for representing West Carroll so well!
