Mrs. Jarman’s 8th Grade Science students have been busy learning about how the sun’s angle changes throughout the year!

Using flashlights to model sunlight, students observed how the angle of light affects how much energy reaches an area. They measured, calculated, and saw firsthand why sunlight is more intense in some seasons than others.

It’s been a great example of hands-on learning in action at WHS! ❤️🤍

The Westside Jr High Quiz Bowl team finished their season on a high note, finishing 3rd in the State Tournament (Blue Division.)

Sawyer Nix (8th grade) received medals for both All-Conference and All-State, and finished in the top 12 of all competitors in 4A.

Congratulations, Warriors! ❤️🤍
