Show me, I may remember.
Involve me, and I'll understand.”

This seems to be the unwritten
motto of West Elementary
School this year. This involve-
ment includes students, prin-
cipal, teachers, parents, and
other staff and concerned
citizens. It involves changes and
growth.
One of the changes includes a
new principal, who has assumed
a strong leadership. Jane C.
Shields assumed the role as prin-
cipal at West after serving Kings
Mountain District Schools as
Director of the Exceptional
Children’s Program. Under Ms.
Shield’s guidance, goals were
established in order to strive for
excellence. These goals include:
(1) to instill a sense of pride, self-
esteem, and responsibility in
each individual; (2) to emphasize
the importance of mathematics
in the school curriculum; (3) to
enhance the appearance of the
school and grounds; and (4) to in-
sure effective communication
among parents, teachers, and
students.
The most visible changes are
“the renovations in our school.
These include installation of
carpet, refurbished health room,
and a general “spring cleaning”
throughout the school. These

The educational program at
West School is changing and im-
proving. For better-balanced
development of each student,
West strives to insure a well-
rounded educational program.

Physical Fitness ‘Participation
Program. Participation is the key
word. The entire school is active-
ly involved in physical activities
endorsed by the Governor's
Council on Fitness and Health.
The objective of this program is
to improve cardiovascular fitness
and enhance general well-being.
Some of these changes could
not have been done without the
aid of a strong’and supportive
P.T.O. A Western Round-Up
was a huge monetary success
which upgraded West’s library
collection and classroom
materials.
Some things have not chang-
ed,but have continued to im-
prove such as a strong volunteer
program and the combined ef-
fort of teachers, staff, and
parents in nurturing a har-
monious atmosphere that is con-
~ ducive to learning.
