Happy School Librarian Day! 💜📚
Today, we celebrate our wonderful librarian, Gina Kelley, and library assistant, Lisa Simmons! Thank you for everything you do to support our students and foster a love of reading.
Librarians are much more than keepers of books—they are champions of literacy, curators of knowledge, and guides who help students develop critical research and learning skills. Reading is essential to education, and we are fortunate to have such dedicated librarians making a difference every day! 💜

🌟 Weekly Staff Spotlight: Katelynn Stricklen 🌟
This is Katelynn's first year serving as the Lower Elementary Secretary! She loves working with her bestie, giving back to the school that poured so much into her, and seeing all the kiddos learning and having fun!
💬 One thing she wishes she could tell herself when she first started?
"Keep plenty of snacks in your desk for Maverick when he comes to your office!"
Katelynn loves going to church, watching her boys play sports, going to the lake, and spending time with her family. She and her husband both grew up in Westville and now their two boys walk the same halls they once did—something she thinks is so special!
She is incredibly grateful to work at a school that puts family first! ❤️🏫
Help us celebrate Katelynn and all she does for our school! 👏👏

The Westville Learning Academy’s Alternative Education Program recently received an Arts Grant, made possible by funding from the Oklahoma Arts Council and the National Endowment for the Arts. This grant gave students a unique opportunity to earn art credit through a hands-on acrylic painting class, taught by a local artist. The program fostered creativity and enriched students' artistic skills in an engaging, supportive environment.
