On behalf of the Foundation, we wish the students great success in their finals this week! We have a lot of winter activities so please keep reading and participate in this and upcoming weeks.

Parent Mixer: Please join us for the next parent mixer on January 24th. It’s a chance to mix and mingle with your Foundation board members and meet other West Campus parents. This time we are meeting at Sac City Brews (3940 60th St, Sacramento, CA 95820) at 5:30. This is a casual meet up and we encourage you to join us!

Pancake Breakfast: The upcoming annual, schoolwide Pancake Breakfast is on January 26th and marks the end of finals week and is the culmination of our students’ very hard work this past semester. We need your help in making it another successful, fun breakfast.Sign up using this link to drop off donations: https://signup.com/go/xNJHwyt.
