“A flower blooming in the desert proves to the world that adversity, no matter how great, can be overcome.”
― Matshona Dhliwayo

 

Each Spring, the Westside School community gathers to celebrate our school and raise important funds for Westside's educational program and the Tuition Assistance Program. The theme of "Westside in Bloom" celebrates how far our community has come together in the past year. The Westside community continues to be a foundation for our students, faculty/staff, and families. This spring, we will see longer days, warming weather, flowers blooming, and hopefully a closer light at the end of the tunnel that's been this challenging year. Please join us as we celebrate Westside in Bloom together on May 1, 2021!
