Hello Friends and Family of Westlake Charter School!

It's time for our 2nd Annual WCS Olympic Triathlon, an exciting fundraiser carried out by our students. On October 30, 2009, WCS students will be extremely active - displaying skills learned in their specialty classes of Spanish, Art and P.E. The Triathlon includes the following events:

• Spanish Language Game
• Art Project for the Campus
• Obstacle Course

The Need

The economy has taken a terrible toll on education in California. To deal with this budget crisis, most public schools have laid off teachers, slashed programs, and increased class sizes - all to the detriment of the children's education. Westlake Charter is a charter public school, meaning we manage our own budget independently from Natomas Unified School District and have not yet implemented such dire measures. However, as a charter school, we have the added expenses of providing specialty classes to our exceptional curriculum, as well as small class sizes and additional teacher aides. Currently, our funds are being squeezed to the point that our WCS Board will consider increasing class sizes and reducing our specialty classes in order to keep us financially healthy. This would send our children backwards!

The Kids' Request

Our students are proud to announce that our STAR Testing API scores are the highest in the district this year! They are thriving with the quality of learning provided in their regular and specialty classes, especially with the personal assistance a small class affords and teacher aids. The positive atmosphere of our school is a boost to self-confidence. They certainly do not want their school to go backwards and they are willing to work hard during the Olympic Triathlon to ensure that their exceptional education continues, especially within these challenging times.
