FPA Westwood Elementary celebrated a full day of learning and achievement with End of Year Presentations in a gallery-style showcase and a special 5th Grade Promotion ceremony.

We were honored to welcome guest speaker Bennie Smith, who used a Rubik’s Cube demonstration to remind students that challenges can be solved with patience, persistence, and perspective. His message brought both energy and reflection to this milestone moment.

As our 5th-grade students prepare to transition into middle school, we celebrate their journey, their growth, and the confidence they are carrying into what comes next. Each student leaves this chapter with new skills, lasting memories, and a strong foundation for continued success.

We are proud of our students and excited to watch them continue to grow, lead, and thrive.

Every student has a story, and every journey matters. 💙

Today, we’re proud to spotlight Freedom Prep alumna Eleyceia Gilliam, Class of 2024, whose journey began at our Millbranch campus in middle school and continued through four years at Brownlee.

Now a sophomore at the University of Memphis majoring in pre-med biology, Eleyceia has already earned a place on the Dean’s List while pursuing her dream of becoming a pediatrician.

From Freedom Prep classrooms to future doctor goals, Eleyceia’s story is a reminder that dedication, heart, and purpose can take students far. We are cheering her on every step of the way! 🎓
