Congratulations to our ESports Team!

Congratulations to our all girls team for securing the first win of the season against Wellington Middle School!

Aubri had a perfect game! She won 4 games back-to-back as Kirby to secure the "W" for the team. Way to go Aubri!

Trojan Smach Bros. Team was scheduled to have a game also, but their opponent forfeited.

We will be adding a third Super Smash Bros. grouo to expand our team!

Tammie Cunningham

6th Grade English Language Arts and Reading Teacher

I have been in education for 15 years and teach 6th grade RLA. I sponsor our West Middle School Spirit Squad and co-sponsor the West Middle School Student Council. I also coach UIL Dictionary Skills.

My husband, Brian, and I have been married for 21 years. We have two amazing sons, Miller and Bryce. Miller is a senior at Texas A&M University and Bryce is a senior at West High School. I enjoy cooking, reading, traveling, hunting, fishing, and listening to true crime podcasts.

My favorite movie is Steel Magnolias.
Fun Fact: I had the incredible honor of running the Olympic torch through Navasota, TX for the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, GA.

My goal is to create and foster a positive, safe and inclusive classroom environment where students are able to express and apply their learning through written and spoken means. I also hope to foster a love for reading by encouraging students to explore and read various genres based on their interests and experiences.
