Eat Smart. Play Hard. West students had a great time today with Body Walk!

A HUGE thank you to our friends from Fort Hays Tech Northwest who helped make the day possible. 🖤💛 Men’s Wrestling – thank you for providing some muscle to help us with set-up and take-down! Respiratory Therapy Program and Child Care Specialist Program – thank you for giving your morning to lead stations, work with our students, and make the experience so much fun!

Miss Rudolph’s second grade class learned about the Sunflowers painting from Vincent Van Gogh as it is a staple in Goodland. Students created their own beautiful piece of the Sunflowers then got to go see it in person, take photos, and sign the guest book! Students LOVED this activity as they finally got to go see it up close. 🌻
