2024-2025 WCHS Yearbook: Have you purchased your yearbook yet? If so, thank you for your support! If you haven’t had the chance, you’re in luck! There are only TWO yearbooks left, and once these sell out, we won’t be restocking! Don’t miss this opportunity for your student to have a yearbook filled with memories. CLICK HERE to order today!
20th Annual International Festival: We currently have 14 cultural booths signed up to be hosted by 21 Westlake families!
BUT…some of last year’s hosts are unable to participate this year, so we’re looking for some new families that would like to help us bring back (and add to!) last year’s list of countries & cultures.
You can choose any country/culture (CLICK HERE for ideas!), host on your own, or partner with someone, and make your sample as elaborate or simple as you want!
FYI – Every booth doesn’t have to be a food booth. We encourage all cultural expressions from coloring sheets, exhibit displays, or giveaways.
*Each booth is reimbursed up to $150 for supplies, PLUS there’s an extra perk for booth hosts this year! Each booth will receive up to two all-access wristbands for the adult hosts. This will give you VIP front of the line access at all the other booths, so you can have the opportunity to experience the entire event without spending a lot of time away from your own booth.
CLICK HERE to sign up to host a Cultural Booth or email any questions you have to wcs.ifc.chair@gmail.com.
