Gala – Thank you to attendees, donors, and volunteers for supporting the Foundation’s annual gala fundraiser on February 25. We were able to make our goal of over $20,000 dollars raised. With your support, we hope to build on this and try to meet the needs of the school that are not able to be met elsewhere. More to come on the final amount raised by our 3/13/23 general meeting. (You all helped us beat this goal by a lot!) You can check out the Thank You video shown at the gala here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2Fuh9OpZgg 

Brunch with the Principal, Vice Principal, and Foundation President on 3/12: If you would like the opportunity to join Foundation President, Natasha Fine, and her husband at their home for brunch, there are a few spots available for $35 each. This money will all go to the Foundation funds to support the school. The Principal and Vice Principal will be our guests of honor on Sunday, 3/12, 11-1 pm. This was a sign-up party at the Gala, but we still have space available. More details once you sign up; please sign up by March 9th. More information here: https://wc-fe.org/come-to-brunch-mar-12/ 

The Junior and Senior Prom is being held on April 15th from 7pm to 11pm at the J Street Masonic Temple and they are looking for parent chaperones. You must be fingerprinted and cleared by the school to chaperone.
