This year’s theme is “Staff Wellness” and we will decorate the staff lounge, bring breakfast, lunch, snacks, sweets and a special gift to show how much we appreciate all our Westlake staff does for our families. If you are interested in helping out decorating or serving meals please reach out to [email protected].
