5th Grade News
December 16, 2011
A group of 5th grade students from Weschester launched a school news site that provides the news from a student's perspective.
Emily Neu & Natalie Wiedl are the lead students on this endeavor. Both students approached the staff expressing an interest in creating and running a website for news, games, and facts for the student body from a 5th grader's perspective.
Updates will occur on a monthly basis. Students interested in supporting the webpage should contact Emily or Natalie as they create the stories, design the site, and provide the photos. Mr. Glenn has provided limited assistance as he has informed the students that this was their project. They will get hands on learning experience behind what it takes to operate a website for functional and enjoyment use.
The site can be accessed from Westchester Elementary School's website under the "For Students" section.
Way to go Emily, Natalie, and the 5th grade student body of Westchester Elementary Schools.
