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.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! West Orange-Stark Elementary kicked off the festivities this morning with a wonderful program with performances by the 1st-grader, 2nd-graders, and the choir.

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.
We're excited to see these Little Mustangs take the next big step in their education journey! ✏️🎒🍏

It was a fun night of games and prizes at West Orange-Stark Elementary for Nachos and Numbers Bingo Night!

Families got the chance to play a variety of educational bingo games: Shapes and Colors, Numbers, Telling Time, Counting Change, Addition and Subtraction, and Multiplication and Division. The winners got to exchange their tickets for snacks and prizes. Staff also served up some delicious extra-cheesy nachos. 🧀

Thanks to everyone who came out and had a great time!

April is Autism Acceptance Month, a time when we recognize those on the Autism spectrum and raise awareness of their unique perspectives on the world. It is an important reminder that disability does not equal inability. Raising awareness of neurodiversity is the first step toward building understanding and acceptance.
As the name implies, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) includes a broad range of factors that affect each individual differently. Mustang Nation is made up of a diverse group of students, including those with Autism and other neurodiversities. West Orange-Cove CISD reaffirms our commitment to bringing awareness and understanding to our neurodivergent students so that everyone is accepted in the Mustang Family!

Over the years, the autism community has moved away from using the puzzle piece logo. It has instead adopted the infinity loop and rainbow, symbolizing endless possibilities and the wide spectrum of neurodivergence.
