StackMats can also be purchased for $25. Cash or checks can be made out to Bangor West Elementary. Don't miss out on the cup-stacking fun!

Hello Bangor West families! Unfortunately, due to construction occurring in our building and the safety of everyone, we will have to cancel our summer library program at West. Students may still attend at Bangor Lincoln or Central every Tuesday (July 10-Aug 21 from 5-7pm) and every Thursday (July 17-Aug 16 from 9-11am). Students are welcome to join and read but will be unable to check out books through their system. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Congratulations!!! Quite a few of our Bangor West students were recognized today during our morning assembly. Boys and girls earned awards from their teacher, while participants in the LINKS program were acknowledged for helping their peers to be successful throughout the school day by being a friend or assisting with everyday tasks. Congratulations to all!
