Reading is its own reward, but the Mustangs at West Orange-Stark Elementary earned a little something extra for their effort. 📚

175 students from 1st through 5th grades who met their AR goals earned a field trip to Cinemark in Beaumont to watch The Sheep Detectives, a movie based on the 2005 best-selling novel, Three Bags Full. 🐑🐑🐑

They also enjoyed a fun movie snack pack with popcorn, a drink, and fruit snacks!

Way to go, Mustangs! Keep on reading!

It's the showdown you've been waiting for: the 4th Annual Students vs. Staff Kickball game at West Orange-Stark Elementary! Teachers and staff took on the winners of the 5th-grade kickball tournament, while students who achieved their 3 A's got to cheer on their classmates from the bleachers!

The students played hard, but this year the teachers came out on top with a dominating performance! It was a fun time for everyone, and a great reward for students who maintained their academics, attitude, and attendance!

Check out all this amazing art from last night's 3rd Annual West-Orange Stark Middle School Art Show. The gallery featured dozens of pieces covering a variety of subjects, including still life, history, science fiction, fantasy, memory, and more. The students' creativity, technical skill, and hard work were on full display.

Awesome work, Stallions! We can't wait to see how your skills continue to grow!

West Orange-Stark Elementary students had a fantastic time exploring nature this week with field trips out to Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center. 🍃

Guides walked students through the gardens, teaching all about the different flora and fauna along the way. They spotted various birds, snakes, bugs, turtles, and even a couple of alligators! An excellent, hands-on way to learn about the natural world right in our backyard! Thank you Shangri La for providing this amazing learning experience!

Happy National School Nurse Day! 👩‍⚕️

From caring for bumps and bruises to managing chronic conditions and supporting students’ mental well-being, school nurses are often the first line of care and comfort on campus. Their presence ensures that students are safe, healthy, and ready to learn.
Today, WOCCISD thanks our school nurses for the countless ways they make a difference, often behind the scenes. Your expertise, patience, and kindness create a foundation of trust and care that strengthens our entire community. We see you, we appreciate you, and we are so grateful for everything you do.

Rounding out today's Cinco de Mayo programs, West Orange-Stark Middle School pulled out all of the stops. Students performed skits to teach about the history of the celebration, recited poems, the band performed some exciting songs, and the dancers showed off moves infused with several different styles of Latin dance

A special thanks to WOSMS students Nevaeh Sarik and Katy LeBlanc, who helped us out with taking photos!

We got the opportunity to sit down with Adrian and Kaine to hear about what earning this scholarship means to them.

These Little Mustangs are moving on up to kindergarten, so they took a trip to West Orange-Stark Elementary to check out their new campus!

WOSE Student Council members guided the visitors through the halls, giving them a glimpse of what their next year will look like. They even stopped by the kindergarten classrooms for some shared learning experiences.
