Our Kindergarten Explorers went “Stargazing” in class this week! Students used flashlights to find the stars around the classroom which had words written on them. They then wrote and pronounced the words.

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.
