Highmark Walk 2022

Take a Walk with us, and support the students and teachers of the West Shore School District! We are excited to participate once again in this year's Highmark Walk for a Healthy Community. Every school building is forming a team to raise funding so that we can provide the District with Educator Innovation Grants, student scholarships, and STEAM and literacy program support. We hope you will join the effort (and your school team)! Click here to join a team or create your own! Every Walker that raises $30 will earn a Highmark Walk t-shirt. 100% of the funds raised for the Walk will go directly back to the District.
