SUN Bucks: SUN Bucks is a food assistance program similar to Cal-Fresh, specifically for summer. This program helps families with school age children buy groceries during the summer months. Most children who qualify for free or reduced-price school meals through a school meal application or an Alternative Income Form, or get CalFresh, CalWORKs, or Medi-Cal, are automatically enrolled. Some children may need to sign up.  Participating in SUN Bucks does not affect a family’s immigration status.

The distribution of SUN Bucks is managed by the California Department of Social Services. CLICK HERE for more information about SUN Bucks.

Kudos:  As we wrap up our final Westlake Weekly of the year, it’s only fitting to express deep appreciation for the incredible parents who showed up for our students, our community, and our school. Westlake thrives because of you.

This year, together, we raised over $50,000 and logged thousands of volunteer hours—clear proof that when our community comes together, amazing things happen. I’m especially grateful to our phenomenal WAVE leadership team—Whitney Browning, Amy Wall, and Dave Edwards—for their unwavering commitment and hard work. A heartfelt shout out to Sandra Yan Crowell, whose leadership during the International Festival and Staff Appreciation Week made a lasting impact.

Thank you all for making this year so meaningful. I can’t wait to continue the work with you next school year!
