Celebrations

Last week, we celebrated a milestone years in the making: the graduation of the founding class of Westlake Charter High School. The Class of 2025 walked across the stage as trailblazers—leaders, learners, and global citizens who have shaped what it means to be a Westlake Explorer. This achievement is a testament to their dedication, resilience, and the unwavering support of their families and WCHS teachers and staff. Together, they have laid the foundation for generations to come. Thank you for making history and for showing the world what it means to lead and thrive as each of you become inspiring adults.

We wrapped up the year with three incredible Field Days! A big thank you to our amazing staff and volunteers who went above and beyond to make each event memorable for our Explorers. Thanks to their efforts, students had a blast competing and celebrating during their final week of school!

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.

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!
