The banner is finally up.
Westdale Middle School proudly hung its official U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon School nominee banner on campus on Oct. 4, celebrating its outstanding commitment to sustainability and environmental education.
Although the U.S. Department of Education discontinued the Green Ribbon program due to budget cuts, Westdale was among the final schools nationwide to be selected for the prestigious recognition in the spring. In June, the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education recognized Westdale`s achievement at its monthly meeting.
The Green Ribbon milestone reflects the visionary leadership of Dr. Lauraleigh Eddlemen, who played a key role in developing the school`s excellent aquaponics curriculum.
"Being recognized as a Green Ribbon School has truly been amazing," Eddlemen said. "I love it because the students get the attention. The students haven`t gotten a lot of attention, and they need the positive attention to know what`s going on and they deserve it. That`s what matters the most."

💛🖤 Roads led to HawkFest 2025 on Saturday.
Westdale Middle welcomed elementary students, current Hawks, alumni, families and community partners back to campus for a day of fun and connection.
Hawkfest started four years ago as a recruiting event and has grown into a beloved tradition for students and families. This year’s theme was “All Roads Lead to Westdale.”
A huge thank-you to everyone who made Hawkfest a success, including community partners and the Liberty Magnet High band. 💛🖤

🎥 The digital media program at Broadmoor High is on the rise!
Students in Terrell Thomas` classes are producing top-notch broadcasts covering sports and news.
One of their latest features is an interview with Dr. Anthony Stewart, of Southern University`s Timbuktu Academy, an award-winning STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) mentoring program.
Stewart helps recruit high school seniors to learn about the opportunities in the program, which was established in 1990 and is based on a 10-strand mentoring model.
"It starts with financial support and ends with guidance to graduate school," Stewart said. "There are a lot of different things we will do throughout their tenure as far as professional development, committing to basic internships, connecting with professionals across the country."🌟
