COMMUNITY SERVICE Senior Service Day 2020: Remote Edition
A little over a decade ago, Mr. Ramsey and Katie Bryant (Student Support Counselor) started one of Westlake's favorite annual traditions, Senior Service Day. Seniors and staff spend a day each Spring volunteering and serving various agencies throughout our community.
While we were saddened to cancel this day in its traditional sense, Katie Bryant stepped up in true Westlake style and modified the format so we could still celebrate this day and serve Austin!
We invite all of our WHS students and families to have a chance to help out as well. See opportunities below. Here are a couple Chaps showing how they served: ![]() ![]() PTO We hope you all are hanging in there with our new normal. We know it’s not easy, and we are right there with you.
