Students will be able to use a cash-free payment option called eWallet. It’s a convenient digital account that your child can use for shopping at our fair. Grandparents, friends, and other family members can contribute, too! Students will be able to shop during the school day from 8:00AM - 4:00PM!


  • Visit our Book Fair eWallet page to get started!

Red Ribbon Week

WLMS students participated in Red Ribbon Week on October 22-26! Red Ribbon Week is an alcohol, tobacco, and other drug and violence prevention awareness campaign observed annually in October in the United States. It began as a tribute to fallen DEA special agent Enrique Camerena in 1985. WLMS Students were encouraged to dress up to promote and bring awareness to drug abuse prevention!

What's going on at West Lake?

Día de Los Muertos

The Spanish Immersion Program and the Spanish classes will be completing a PBL on “Día de Los Muertos” or All Souls’ Day. “Día de Los Muertos” is a holiday in which families celebrate and remember the lives of those who have passed on. The origin of the holiday started in Mexico and has since expanded and reached many Spanish-speaking countries. During this holiday, it is customary for families to clean and decorate the grave of the deceased with chrysanthemums, marigolds, and afterward, have a picnic with family and community members to share stories of the deceased.


Another special tradition included in Día de Los Muertos is the construction of displays dedicated to the deceased. Sra. Silas and her classes celebrated Día de Los Muertos via a PBL and created a display in her classroom. The display included photographs, candles, flowers, trinkets, etc. Students in her Spanish classes
