Westlake & WAVE Strategic Alignment Workshops: Westlake Charter School (WCS) and the Westlake Association of Volunteer Explorers (WAVE) have begun to come together for three Westlake & WAVE Strategic Alignment Workshops. As WCS prepares to launch its next Strategic Plan, we are using these workshops to create excitement and alignment about what comes next for Westlake and WAVE in the coming years.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at our first Workshop to engage in thoughtful and energizing conversation about Events at Westlake! Together, we explored what makes our events meaningful and how they shape our community. A few shared beliefs and commitments that emerged were:

• Events create welcoming ways for families to connect and build belonging and pride. 
• Student-centered moments drive engagement, and both large and small events matter. 
• Sustainability relies on shared ownership across WAVE leadership, staff, and families. 
• We honor traditions while evolving, grounding events in our Core Values and continuously reflecting and adapting.

We’re excited to carry these shared commitments forward as we continue this important work together! Join us at our next two Workshops to help envision how Fundraising and Volunteerism help our students and community thrive!

• Wednesday, April 22nd @ 5:30 PM – Workshop Topic: Fundraising
• Wednesday, May 20th @ 5:30 PM – Workshop Topic: Volunteerism

*Workshops will be held in our K-8 Library or attend via Google Meet (CLICK HERE to join virtually).  To support participation, BASE will remain open free of charge for currently enrolled Westlake Charter School students whose families attend the event. Please CLICK HERE to pre-register.
