HELLO WESTGATE STUDENTS AND FAMILIES!
We are excited for Cyclathon! Our 49th Cyclathon fundraiser and community connector will take place on Saturday, September 28. This is a great chance for students, parents, siblings, grandparents, alumni, pastors, and friends to join us in a variety of ways: cycle laps on a bike, take a walk, bring a picnic blanket and lawn chairs, eat a hot dog, play a game, and more. We want to encourage you and your family to come out and make this a wonderful celebration of our Westgate community.
It is also a fundraising event for our school. We want to be a part of your lives and also want to invite the wider community to become supporters in education.
This year we have a special fundraising goal: we want new bleachers in the gym!
