Closed the door on 17 years of teaching! So grateful for all of the memories and relationships I’ve made along the way with students, parents, and colleagues. Excited for my new chapter, but will miss everyone @WestgateElem 🙏🏼❤️

We are also VERY excited to introduce our community to our new mascot, Westie! Watch Westie roam around Westgate in the video below. Be on the lookout at future school and @westgatepta events!🤩 youtube.com/watch?v=vIKkOW…

Loved seeing my former 6th graders and soon to be HS grads!! So proud 🥳🎓@WestgateElem

@mvg280 @SHES_Dolphins @FCPSR2 CONGRATULATIONS!! Well deserved. 🥳❤️

I had a wish that I kept in my pocket for a long, long time, down there with the lint. Today my wish came true. I am the new principal at Sleepy Hollow Elementary School effective in July. @SHES_Dolphins @mvg280 @FCPSR2

6th graders learned all about heat flow in our atmosphere through a convection observation lab! #FCPSAAP #JASONLearning #science @megrsutton @WestgateElem

The level of creativity and critical thinking these 6th graders showed through their Space Resort projects was out of this world! 🚀🪐 #PBLinFCPS @WestgateElem

Today’s Responsive Advisory Meeting focused on taking responsibility for learning. Students rotated through 4 corners in small groups and listed key ideas of what being responsible looks, sounds, and feels like in each category! @WestgateElem #ResponsiveClassroom

Math partners shared their strategies for solving practical problems with proportional reasoning! @WestgateElem #advancedmath

We had a special visit from the @MStatesmen band and orchestra this afternoon and I was so excited to see one of my former 6th graders show off his amazing drum skills!! So proud 🤩
