SOLE BURNER 2019 

Dear Westside Families, 

 Cancer affects so many. At Westside, over the past few years, this terrible disease has affected students, staff, our fathers, our mothers, our grandparents, our husbands, and many other family members and friends. That is why the Westside student council has chosen to support the American Cancer Society.  PLEASE join our team “Westside” on Saturday, May 11th as staff and students walk/run the Sole Burner. The morning is filled with many activities for kids including a Fun Run (1K or 1 mile), plus many kid activities such as creating wood projects from Home Depot, face painting, riding the train, dancing, and more! Please check out the Sole Burner website (SoleBurner.org) for loads of details. Cost for the Kids Run is $15.00 per child and the cool thing is $10.00 of this will go right to pediatric cancer! The Kids Run starts at 8:15am. Students will need to be accompanied by an adult for this event. Parents are also encouraged to run or walk this grand event as we make a difference.    After the Kids Run is the 5K Walk/Run....kids may participate in this at no extra cost with their family. Adult entry fee is $30, with a rate increase to $35 after May 6th. This race is chipped timed! Please check out the Sole Burner website for more details on this race also! I  Sign up online (www.soleburner.org) for “WESTSIDE ELEMENTARY” in honor and memory of all those affected by cancer...    If you have any questions please do not hesitate to call, email or send a note.    

The Westside Student Council PS. If you register by April 1st your Sole Burner race t-shirt will include “Backprinting” for “Team Westside”. See the sample of backprinting attached! 

TEAM WESTSIDE

The Kimberly Area School District is dedicated to providing the safest environment for our students and staff. During the 2018-19 school year, schools will be implementing a new secure access system, commonly known as a “buzz-in entry”. HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

● All visitors (including family members, volunteers, and vendors are required to follow the buzz-in procedure during the school day.)

● When you arrive, press the button on the intercom. Guests may be asked to present a government issued ID to the security camera.

● A staff member may ask you some clarifying questions before granting access to the building.

● Once inside, continue to sign in at the office and wear a visitor badge while in the school.

● Anyone unfamiliar with the buzz-in procedure can refer to instructions posted at the main entrance of the school.

● We realize this system will require a change in practice from staff, families, and visitors.

● Thank you for your support as we work to create the safest learning environment possible.

5 Reasons to Try TENNIS This Summer 

It’s individual. Our players love that tennis is a perfect

match of their own strengths and

weaknesses against an opponent’s. Win or

lose, the beauty of tennis is that players

know they are solely responsible for the

outcome.  

It’s a brain game. More than other sports, tennis is a match of

intellect. It requires real-time problem

solving, analysis, strategizing, & execution.

It teaches emotional control. To be successful, tennis requires players to

be in control of their emotions. They must

learn to cope with setbacks, recover quickly

from failures, and calm their emotions.

They will play it for the  rest of their lives. Tennis is a sport that players can grow in the

rest of their lives. While their friends

remember their sports as part of childhood,

tennis players take the competition, health,

and social benefits well into adulthood

where they can continue to play at a

competitive level.

It’s safe. Tennis is a non-contact way for players to

sharpen their agility, endurance, hand-eye

coordination and athleticism.
