Spelling Out Success: School's Back!

The start of the 2024-25 school year has been amazing! We've had a great time getting to know new students, hearing how much they LOVE their teachers, seeing their excitement over new clothes and hearing all of the cool things they are learning.


Meanwhile, try-outs and practice for West End Center’s dramatic reading of Willy Wonka are going well, with students having fun using different strategies to improve their reading skills.


Our older elementary students even wrote interview questions and interviewed each other, building community while having fun and learning.


There’s never a dull moment at West End!

Share Your Memories Now

Celebrating 45 Years!

This year marks a momentous occasion for the West End Center as we celebrate 45 incredible years of serving our community. Over the past four and a half decades, we’ve seen countless lives transformed, friendships forged, and memories made within our walls. From the very beginning, our mission has been to provide a safe, nurturing environment where children and families can grow, learn, and thrive. As we reflect on our journey, we know that our story is truly the story of each person who has been touched by the West End Center.


Why Your Stories Matter

The West End Center has always been more than just a place—it’s a community. It’s a place where children find mentors, where lifelong friendships are formed, and where individuals discover their potential. But these experiences are not just abstract ideas; they are the real-life stories of people like you. By sharing your memories, you help us capture the spirit of the West End Center and preserve it for future generations.
