The West Antelope Valley Educational Foundation (WAVE) is a non profit corporation organized for the sole purpose of supplementing the educational curriculum of the Westside Union School District, grades K-8, by creating and implementing additional programs in the Arts, Sciences and Athletics thereby enhancing the development and cultural enrichment of all students and strengthening their potential for success in the future.
The mission of the Foundation is to promote and enhance excellence in education at Westside Union School District by providing independent financial support for innovative projects and programs that enhance or supplement the core curriculum and extended learning opportunities through extra curricular activities.
We are extremely appreciative for the support, time and contributions from our leaders, the Board of Trustees, the staff at Westside Union School District, and the many volunteers who have contributed unselfishly to our organization over the years. Without your dedication and perseverance, WAVE would not have been possible, and the children would have missed some exceptional opportunities for learning.
Thank you,
The WAVE Board
