*donation amounts are not combined with corporate matching

​Each year, families in our community generously donate funds that allow Westlake to offer fundamental educational experiences that the state and district are not able to provide.

Because of your support, students have access to SIX learning assistants, dance in all grades, music starting in TK/K instead of 3rd, increased time in Life Lab with Teacher Jane, playground coaches, assemblies, PBIS, and enriched learning experiences. Because of your support, teachers have more resources to support their classroom needs and the art program has enhanced supplies.
​

​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.


Any donation is appreciated! No amount is too small.
Monthly/Recurring payment options are available through these PayPal buttons.
