WarriorFest was held on March 29 by the National Honor Society (NHS) to wrap up fundraising for the International Thirst Project. Throughout the week, NHS members rallied to get donations from feeder middle schools and Westwood students to make their goal of $8,000. This year marked the first annual WarriorFest.

A series of performers took the stage, including The Red Tent, seniors Nicole Crosby and Rani Vrudhula, Michelle’s Jealousy, senior Alvin Chen, junior Isaiah Ahn, Westwood’s Drumline, and The Good Thieves. Other events at WarriorFest included video games, tug-of-war, face paint, and more.
