Dear Westridge Families,

What a phenomenal week and a monumental close to the 3rd quarter! I’m thrilled to share that our Boosterthon was a resounding success - we reached our $30,000 fundraising goal amid a week filled with fun, spirited assemblies, and even a playful twist of coloring staff hair, all culminating in an unforgettable Glow Dance! A heartfelt thank you to our amazing parent volunteers for making it all possible. For any last-minute contributions, MyBooster.com remains open for one more week.

Looking ahead, we’re excited to kick off Autism Awareness Week from April 1st through 4th. Please see the attached flyer for details on our spirit days and events.
