Our Mission

Our journey started in our sophomore year, as we were a part of the Library internship elective. This elective was aimed at progressing the library on the third floor, but since we lacked shelves in that room, we weren't able to achieve anything. We were extremely disappointed to see that there was no new progress on the library as we came into this school year, and the Library Internship had been disbanded. We decided to take matters into our own hands, and the Art Gala was born. Not only will the library be a place to get books and read, but it will also serve as a quiet place for students to go during lunch periods or after school. A couple of years ago, the study lounge was taken away, so an area for this purpose is very needed. We greatly appreciate any donations you are willing to contribute, since this project isn't possible without YOU.
Our mission is to raise $25,000 to transform the WESS libraries into functional, communal spaces in our school. Through the 2025 Library Gala, we believe this goal is possible and along the way, we hope to showcase the best of WESS's artists. The Gala aims to celebrate the talented students at WESS and bring attention to their best works. By bringing together the school community around our student's artistic talent, it is our goal to raise the necessary funds to shape the WESS library into a vibrant space of community, learning, and wonder.
