Monday West Park kicked off the 1st day of our Autism Awareness Spirit Week! Each class was assigned a color and then we formed a rainbow to represent and promote KINDNESS at our school!
WE REACHED OUR GOAL!
Thank you to our students and families and to our community donors.
By working together, we were able to surpass our goal and were able to order additional pieces for the Percussion Playground.
Our CPS Maintenance Department will be installing the equipment before the end of the school year and we will be having a ribbon cutting ceremony so you can see the equipment and celebrate with us.
Thank you for helping this dream become a reality. The playground will enrich West Park students and community visitors for years to come!
PowerSchool will be down for about an hour starting at 5 p.m. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thank you to the West Park staff, students, families & community for coming to our Waffleman event last night. You all have gone above & beyond in your support for West Park and the Percussion Playground. We had an excellent turn out!!!

Belgian waffles, five flavors of syrup , whipped cream and sausage will be served from 5-7 p.m. Tickets are $8 and the proceeds will go to support fundraising for the Percussion Playground. The scheduled entertainment will also still be performing.
