Darren Medina oversees the pouring of the cement footings for the new sign at Westside School as the Head of the School Jo Ann Yockey comes out to have a look.
After months of living with a banner above the door for a visual identity, Westside School got their new sign in the ground and on display Tuesday, Mar. 29. The school is located at 7740 34th Ave. s.w.
Designed by Darren Medina (who is also a Westside parent) the sign is all steel, powder coated for durability and incorporates the schools "three tree" logo.
Head of the school Jo Ann Yockey said, "We didn't want to remove the E.C. Hughes (the building that Westside occupies) since it is a historical building. But a sign was very important. One of our fifth grade parents thought it would good to have the current fifth graders make a donation toward the sign."
Director of Admissions, David Bergler wanted to mention that while they now have a sizable student body, "Westside School is still accepting applications for 4th 5th, and 6th grades."
The school is in the process of expanding the grades they instruct as they grow into a K-8 school.
