International Festival: The 18th Annual International Festival is quickly approaching  on Saturday, April 29th from 3-6PM. International Festival is an annual event held here at WCS, celebrating our diverse community. Did you know our Westlake Charter School has families from all corners of the globe? What better way to get to know our community than to share our cultural backgrounds through food, games, and art. It’s a beautiful annual tradition to celebrate how we embrace global citizenship at Westlake!

The highlight of our International Festival are the Cultural Booths hosted by WCS families and staff. We are in need of booth hosts to make this event a success!

• Cultural booth hosts may provide a small sampling of native cuisine, cultural artifacts, a children’s activity/game and/or anything else you would like to demonstrate or display. The booth can be as simple or complex as you would like. We would love to have as many cultures represented as possible.
• CLICK HERE to register to host a booth or send an email to [email protected] for more information.
