Giving Campaign Update

As we end the second week of the Giving Campaign we thought you might enjoy seeing the Giving Campaign  commercial that the students saw on morning announcements the first week.  Thank you to Mrs. Burba's class for singing with such pride and thanks to Sierra Halverson, Mr. Gabatino, Grace Jones & Melissa Chmielewski for helping out!

Thank you to the families that have given!!  There is one week left - still time to give if you haven't yet.  Please send a check (with the voucher from the booklet) with your student or you can give with a credit card here.

Enjoy the video!

2013 Giving Campaign



The Giving Campaign is our spring fundraiser, replacing Spring To It.  A booklet went home in your students’ backpack this week.  The booklet contains information about the campaign as well as testimonials from teachers and staff as to how they use the funds provided by WPPA.  Please take time to read through, it is very enlightening. 

You will be able to check the progress of the campaign by watching the Panda in the hallway by the Main Office.  As funds are raised, the Panda will climb the tree.  It’s a fun way for our students to check on the progress of the campaign.  If we are able to raise $7,500 by Friday, March 22nd, a Family Fun Night will be held at Wilshire on Thursday, April 4th.  We will have use of the gym and multi-purpose room, popcorn and lemonade and Bingo in the cafeteria for families.

It’s easy to give, simply either send a check in with your student with the tear off voucher from the booklet or you can give online through this blog, just click here (link is also on the top right).

Please let me know if you would like to help organize the Family Fun Night.  We need a couple of people to oversee Bingo and make popcorn.  Contact Julie Pierce at jlpiercemn@comcast.net to help out or for any questions.

Let’s all give it what we can!
