WHS FUNDRAISING INITIATIVES:
The Alumni Legacy Walk
We are still taking orders for bricks to be installed in the walkway at the front entrance of the school. The link to purchase a brick is on our website (Brick Order Website). You can buy one for yourself, a family member or friend, or even on behalf of your class. Because we do not install them, we need to have a certain number sold in order for the school district to include it in their work schedule.
*************************************
THE WHS ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
We are always on the lookout for a few good Board members. We are especially seeking individuals who have legal and/or fundraising experience. If you are interested, please send a resume to weequahicalumni@gmail.com. We are a 501(c)3 organization and our primary mission is to raise funds for scholarships. We have a solid and productive relationship with the school and hope to be able to support our students well into the future. It’s a volunteer position; however, knowing that you’ve made a difference in the life of a student is a great paycheck!
AS ALWAYS, WE APPRECIATE YOUR ONGOING SUPPORT
