Hermes Westlake Spring Fever

Join us this April for the annual Westlake Spring Fever 4 Mile, 2 Mile, & 1 Mile races at Westlake High School. There will also be a Kids Dash for 6 years olds and under.

This event benefits the Westlake Educational Foundation and finishes off with a yummy pancake breakfast provided by Kiwanis of Westlake following the races.

There will be free kids activities in the WHS Auxiliary Gym during and after the races, including favorites such as face painting, corn hole, hula hoops, bowling, limbo and soccer.

The Westlake Educational Foundation’s mission is to enhance educational opportunities and experiences of Westlake City Schools' students in the endeavor to Educate for Excellence.

Fundraising efforts support the Foundation’s mission, allowing the Foundation to award grants to Westlake City School teachers and staff for projects that enhance the educational opportunities and learning experiences of students over and above the required curriculum, giving special consideration to proposals that demonstrate creativity and innovation in student learning. Grants will not be made for those expenses normally covered within the school district’s budget.
