KEY CLUB THANKSGIVING

A HUGE SUCCESS

Booster Club Funding Supported Event For Area Senior Citizens

More than 140 local senior citizens enjoyed a full Thanksgiving meal prepared by WJ cafeteria staff, served by almost 200 WJ student volunteers, and made possible through Booster Club funding.

Attendees were entertained by the WJ Jazz Ensemble, and three choir groups (Madrigals, Show Choir and Advanced Choir). Table decorations were made by students from the LFI program.

Organized by the Key Club, students from the Student Advisory Board, Ms. Fierst's Leadership Class, and the Small Things Matter Club also contributed to its success.
