What a year, Westies!🐾

Together, this year, we raised almost $83,000 to go towards various events, projects and initiatives at West Elementary School, Mt. Juliet, TN.

We could not have done this without the help and support of our incredible donors, volunteers, teachers and staff and each one of you.

No matter where the road takes you next year- whether its off to middle school, starting a new voyage as a Laguardo Captain, moving elsewhere or staying at West, we wish you the best of luck and thank you again, for all you did this year to make West, Best!

HAPPY SUMMER BREAK! ⛱🍉☀️🐾❤️

Thank You, West Family!

What an incredible night under the stars! Thank you to all of our amazing staff—both present and past—along with our wonderful families and students who came out tonight to celebrate 65 unforgettable years of West. From the laughter and fun to the sweet moments of connection, it was a night we’ll treasure forever.

We especially loved sharing our heartfelt video tribute with all of our Westies—those staying, those moving on, and those just beginning their Bulldog journey. Your presence made it so special.

Thank you for helping us keep West Best.
Once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog!

If you captured any great moments tonight, please feel free to send us your photos—we’d love to share them!

Movie Under the Stars Update!
Due to weather, we’re making a few small changes to our event — so listen up!

The movie screen will now be set up in the upper parking lot, and we’ll be going “lights out” from 7:30–9:30 PM during the movie.

Pro Tip: Bring camping chairs for everyone in your party to enjoy the show comfortably!

Shuttles will run from 5:30–10:00 PM from Cooks UMC, Silver Springs Baptist, and Mt. Juliet High School. We highly recommend parking at Cooks or Silver Springs first.

Want to skip the shuttle for part of your group? You can use the bus loop at the front of the school as a drop-off zone. Have one adult drop off the rest of your party — chairs and all — then head to park and catch a shuttle back to join the fun!

IMPORTANT: Your receipt is your ticket to the show — don’t have a ticket, no problem. Ticket sales will be open all day!

We’re making the best of the weather and can’t wait to celebrate 65 amazing years of West with you all. Let’s make it a night to remember!
