WE FUND is the fundraiser that matters most to Westminster Elementary.

The funds raised help to make class size reduction and enrichment programs possible.

PE, the gardening program, yoga, mosaic art, music, movement—none of these are funded by LAUSD.

They’re funded by us. By families.

By WE FUND.

GOAL: $133,000

We’re asking families who are able to contribute $1,500 per child enrolled at Westminster Elementary to help fully fund essential programs.

Real Talk: We Wish the Fun Was Enough

We love the Book Fair, WE Fitness Fun Day, the Auction.
They build joy and community—and we’ll keep doing them.
But they don’t cover the budget.

If every family gave $1,500 per child, enrichments would be fully funded.

Some families can give that. Many can’t - and that’s okay.

So here’s what we’re asking:
* Can you try to cover your own child, if you're able?
* Can you give what feels right—whether it’s $10, $100 or $1,000?
* Can you help carry the joy for others, if you’re in a position to do so?

Not because you have to.
But because you can.

And because every gift, at every level, keeps the programs our kids love most alive.
