Support Your Seniors!
Dear Westlake Families,
The Class of 2024 needs your assistance in making our Senior activities accessible for all students!
We are asking Westlake families and community members to participate in our SUPPORT YOUR SENIORS fundraiser. We are still accepting monetary donations that will directly benefit and sponsor our peers. We have a link located on our Student Store website where you can make direct donations (HERE) or you can send a check to the school made out to “WHS Class of 2024.”
There are different ways to donate:
$100 donation will cover the cost of one yearbook for one of our Seniors in need
$150 will cover the cost of one ticket to the Senior Prom at the Reagan Library
$300 will cover the cost of one Grad Nite ticket to Disneyland
$550 would cover the cost for all three memories for one of our Seniors
Any amount of donation would be appreciated and will be applied to the Support Your Seniors fund to sponsor one of our students in need.
Westlake High School is a non-profit organization, so all donations are tax-deductible. Your contribution will automatically be doubled if you work for a company with a matching grant program, such as Amgen or Bank of America. Please help us spread the word by sharing this fundraising letter with family, friends, and other community members!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact any of the senior class officers or the AP of activities, Mrs. Mae Tietjen at mtietjen@conejousd.org.
Thank you in advance for your contributions. We are incredibly grateful for Westlake’s generous and supportive community, and we look forward to putting on spectacular events for our senior students!
With gratitude,
ASG Class of 2024
