A New Chapter for Our Library—and Fall Fun Ahead!
Big smiles, new bookshelves, and a visit from Cosmo—Westridge has plenty to celebrate! Catch up on our library transformation, October reading challenge, and important dates for the weeks ahead.
A Library Worth Cheering For
Our library has a fresh new look! Thanks to the generosity of the College Football Playoff Foundation, Big 12 Conference, BYU, and School Specialty, students now have brand-new furniture and bookshelves—and a comfortable, spacious place to settle in with a great book.
We celebrated with representatives from these organizations, district officials, BYU football players Bear Bachmeier, Raider Damuni, and Cade Uluave, BYU cheerleaders, and Cosmo! Their visit made this an unforgettable day for our Wildcats.
Thank you to everyone who helped create this inviting space for our students. We cannot wait to see the reading adventures that begin here!
