Annual Direct Appeal
Your child is the most important reason to contribute to the Annual Giving Campaign. These critical donations are used to enrich your child's education, provide fun school-wide events and close the funding gaps left in Westlake's budget after federal, state and local tax funding is spent.  This year we are using the platform Future Fund to collect donations
