We are thrilled to recognize our 2024-2025 Employees of the Year! WHAM students and staff are so fortunate to reap the benefits of your hard work and compassion! Congratulations to the following staff members: Ms. Wynne, Teacher of the Year Ms. Virginia, Classified Employee of the Year Ms. Dugas, New Teacher of the Year Ms. Moore, Mentor Teacher of the Year See the comments below each of their pictures to see some nice things their colleagues had to say about them!  "Ms. Wynne is extremely knowledgeable in her content area. Her instruction is effective and fosters the love and reading and writing in her students!" "Ms. Wynne has voluntarily started an after-school Fiber Arts Club for 4th-5th grade students and WHAM alumni. This club has helped build a sense of community among WHAM current and former students."  "Ms. Virginia always goes above and beyond to help EVERYONE with whatever they need and she always does it with a smile!! I really appreciate her dedication to WHAM!" "Ms Virginia's love of WHAM is evident in all that she does. She truly cares about each and every student, and their families. She makes WHAM feel welcoming and safe, and just makes the school a better place. Her willingness to assist anyone with anything is truly remarkable....and she never expects recognition or anything in return. She is a gem of a human!"  "Ms. Dugas has been amazing from the moment she arrived at WHAM! Her ability to connect to students is beyond meaningful to the classroom. Her desire to learn and grown has helped her be ready for instruction from the beginning! When you watch her teach, you would not think she is a first year teacher. She is also very willing to jump in and help whenever help is needed!! We are so lucky to have her at WHAM!!!" "Ms. Dugas excels in classroom management and effectively maintains the students' engagement in their learning activities."  "Ms. Moore helps support so many students and teachers in the school. She goes above and beyond to help the teachers on campus to support student in need!"
"I love Mrs. Moore's sunshiny personality, and she is very approachable. She is knowledgeable about her area, but she does not act as though she is above everyone else. I love Mrs. Moore!"

Our PTO (Parent-Teacher Organization) hosts two social events every school year; one in the fall and one in the spring. The fall social was held Friday night, and it was a blast! We celebrated the first birthday of our mascot, Hopper, by signing his birthday shirt, playing games, decorating cupcakes, singing, eating cake and just enjoying each other’s company! Hopper didn’t open gifts because all he wanted for his birthday was for his guests to bring donations for the Baton Rouge Food Bank. He got his wish! Three large boxes of donated items will be delivered this week, and Hopper is thrilled! Thank you to WHAM PTO and parent volunteers who made this event possible and successful! Your hard work is greatly appreciated! Also, we want to send out a thank you to the families that joined us at the fall social. We were so happy to see all of you there! Sending out a big thanks to WHAM 5th grade families for providing a delicious lunch for teachers/staff yesterday! Everything was wonderful! We truly appreciate our families for showing us so much love and appreciation!    Congratulations to the 2024-2025 Student of the Year for Westdale Heights Academic Magnet, Angel Harrell! We are so proud of Angel’s character, her strong leadership abilities, her willingness to assist WHAM teachers and staff (and other students) without being asked, and her dedication to academic excellence. We are thrilled to have Angel represent WHAM! Congratulations, Angel! #westdaleheightsacademicmagnet #WHAMEBR       Hi WHAM Families! Next week is Magnet Showcase Week! Our current WHAM families are, hands down, our best recruiters, so please pass the word along to any of your friends or family that may be interested in their child(ren) attending WHAM next school year! For those of you who have a student moving up to middle or high school, the complete list of showcase dates/times for all magnet programs can be found here. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Ms. Moss, our Magnet Site Coordinator at 225-926-5421 or [email protected]. Thank you in advance for spreading the word about showcase events at WHAM next week!  Sending out a huge thanks to everyone who joined us for WHAM’s garden workday today! We had WHAM parents, students, and staff that came and helped out, as well as community members and volunteers! We were fortunate to have Liberty Magnet High School’s baseball team join us, as well as volunteers representing one of our community partners, CC’s Coffee House (Perkins-Southdowns Location). Along with their time and effort, our friends at CC’s also generously donated coffee, and the fixings, for the volunteers! Thank you CC’s! We are thankful for your partnership, and enjoyed having you all join us today! Also, a special shoutout to Dr. Legoria, our Science Specialist, for organizing the garden workday! WHAM wouldn't have these beautiful outdoor spaces without her vision, and without the support of our WHAM families, staff, students and volunteers! We will have another garden workday in the spring, and we hope to see you all there! It’s a great time for WHAM families to connect! 💚🐸💙  PLEASE USE THE LINK BELOW TO ACCESS THE SEPTEMBER ISSUE OF THE
