The Ladies of the PTO

"Beauty is inside."

— Catherine Ledner, Photographer

The Westlake PTO mirrors the Westlake community in that we are well-served by scores of wonderful, selfless, beautiful women. It's not so much about nips and tucks and three hours at the gym each week - not that skin-deep stuff. This is about love and giving and community and integrity, and about the richness of life along the way. This is beauty that comes from the inside. It works it's way to the outside, certainly, but the externals become insignificant compared to the light within.

The "Ladies of the PTO" calendar is a light-hearted way to spotlight some of these awesome women in our community.
