Students in Mr. Bohlander's Science Class were asked to put their engineering and design skills to test. They were given the task to design and build a rubber band car with a partner using limited materials and a set amount of time.
The big distance winners from the build were Ashlyn Streets and Josiah Rivera with a distance of 52 feet, and Tripp Vigil and Dacen Allen with a distance of 47 FT.

WEST STUDENTS EXCITED ABOUT NEW INCENTIVE PROGRAM
Posted Date: 09/13/2018
West Students will be participating in an exciting new incentive program this year. In addition to the keys for success program, students will be able to earn one ticket weekly given on Monday mornin . . .
Computer Science? What is this? The children will explore numerous problem solving activities that will challenge them to look at solutions as process and not just an answer.
Our students will work through simulations, both plugged in and unplugged, to further understand how the technology surrounding them works.
We will have the opportunity to use robots, drones and to learn coding through those tools. This class will allow students to explore and build skills that will be imperative for their future.
Just a few of our West 5th grade students that completed the 5th Grade Summer Reading Challenge that celebrated with ice cream this last Friday! Way to go 5th graders. Keep up the great work!
