Battle of the Books 2026
The librarians are pleased to announce the Reading List for the 2026 HCSD Battle of the Books. The program is open to all 4th and 5th graders. Join a team and start reading to get ready for the competition next March!
Thank You, Judd Winick!
We are so grateful to Judd Winick, author of the beloved Hilo series, for joining us at West School on February 19. We learned all about how he writes and illustrates his books (and saw pictures of his very cute cats!). We are so excited about his new Hilo book The Great Space Iguana. Thank you to the West community for supporting this special opportunity for our students!
