BOOSTER Fundraiser Week
Greetings from WBS!
You have been receiving communication from Booster regarding our current Home & School fundraiser. In partnership with Booster, the WBS Home and School Association is hoping to raise money to support our school. The money raised through this fundraiser will be used for field trip costs, school wide assemblies, and for enchasing classroom spaces.
This week, representatives from Booster will be here in the building communicating with our students and staff about the fundraiser. You may also see signs or hear music in the mornings as students arrive. Their hope is that these fun activities will build excitement around the fundraiser.
We will continue to send home communication this week regarding this important fundraiser. Please take a look at it and consider asking your friends and family to donate.
On May 29th, our students will participate in a fun run event in celebration of our Booster fundraiser. For those of you who have been here at WBS for many years, this event is very similar to the old Race For Education model. I thank you in advance for your attention to this event.
Sincerely,
~Mrs. Hadfield, Principal
