West Middle School students ended their school day a little bit differently on Monday, with a bunch of cheering people getting them pumped up for their state test.
It has been three years since the students had to take a state achievement test, so community members and first responders came together to give them a last push of encouragement. Organizers wanted the students to head into the test with a positive attitude that will help them succeed.
“It’s amazing that our kids were so receptive of this event,” says Amanda Leugers, West Middle School Resource Officer. “They were smiling, excited, overwhelmed, didn’t know what to do with their feelings and it just makes you smile, knowing that they see how many people support them.”
Hopefully, the students get a good night's sleep Monday night because testing begins Tuesday.
