Happy early Valentine’s Day! 💜 Our school is filled with love, smiles, and lots of excitement!
🌟 High School/Middle School Staff Spotlight: Rebecca Yeager 🌟
Mrs. Yeager is in her 17th year of teaching, with 16 of those years proudly spent at Westville. She loves teaching most when students get excited about learning, believing that when kids are engaged and having fun, they naturally want to learn more.
Originally from Muskogee, Oklahoma, Mrs. Yeager moved to Westville after marrying her husband, Kevin. She grew up experiencing the best of both worlds—working cows one weekend and attending the opera the next. In high school, she was captain of the swim team and president of the choir. Today, she leads worship on Sunday mornings at Stilwell Impact Church and is the proud mom of two Westville students, Kainan and Jenaly. Her whole family is proud to be Yellowjackets.
One of the best pieces of career advice she’s received is a reminder that perfection isn’t realistic. She’s grateful for the supportive community of teachers around her who encourage her to do her best and remember that her best is enough.
A fun fact that might surprise people: Mrs. Yeager competed in the Miss NSU pageant against Carrie Underwood and won—right before Carrie went on to win American Idol!
🌟Elementary Staff Spotlight: Ralanda Mongold🌟
Mrs. Mongold is in her 11th year at Westville, bringing with her an additional seven years of teaching experience from Arkansas. She loves teaching 1st grade because her students make her laugh every day, and she enjoys watching their growth as they learn and gain confidence.
She has been married to her husband, Eric, for 20 years, and together they have two children, Emaline and Beck. Mrs. Mongold holds a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction, and a Principal’s Certificate. Outside the classroom, she enjoys crafting, going to concerts, learning new things, and cheering on the OKC Thunder.
The best career advice she’s received is to be true to herself and not worry about what others think. A fun fact that may surprise people—she has seen The Avett Brothers in concert 16 times across four different states!
We are so thankful for Mrs. Yeager and Mrs. Mongold and the joy, dedication, and heart they bring to our students each day!

⚖️📚 Order in the Court! 📚⚖️
Last week, Mrs. Barber’s 8th Grade English class brought literature to life with a mock trial over Roald Dahl’s famous short story “Lamb to the Slaughter.”
Students stepped into the roles of witnesses, suspects, attorneys, and jurors as they built their cases using strong argumentative reasoning. Both the prosecution and defense teams focused on citing textual evidence, substantiating claims and counterclaims, and using persuasive techniques to sway the jury.
Not only did our students sharpen their critical thinking and public speaking skills, but they also shared plenty of laughs along the way. Learning is always more meaningful when it’s engaging — and this class proved that literature can be both rigorous and a whole lot of fun! 👏✨

Mrs. Jarrett’s Art 2 & 3 students painted ceiling tiles for the Elementary Library last semester, and our elementary students love them! 🎨✨
We love seeing student artwork displayed throughout the school—it adds so much creativity and color to our spaces!

The Westville PTO has joined in the fun of throwing the Westville Staff Appreciation Banquet this year!
They are excited to announce they are hosting a Penny & Nickel War!
We will be having three wars this year:
• Elementary grades against one another
• Middle school grades against one another
• High school grades against one another
Since pennies are being phased out, nickels will also count as positive points.
Dimes, quarters, and dollar bills will be negative points… maybe you can sabotage the other grades 😉
Buckets will be located in the building offices. Let's get ready for war!
The last day to add to the buckets is Friday, February 20.
🏆 Winning grades will earn a party! 🎉

Today, Mrs. Coleman’s English II class is diving into history with a WWII Propaganda Round Table.
Students are analyzing propaganda posters from World War II and the Holocaust, identifying examples of ethos, pathos, and logos.
Such a powerful way to connect literature, history, and critical thinking! 💜
