WPS has one major fundraiser every year. We stick to just one because we are acutely aware that while our families may support us wholeheartedly, their budgets may not. Our annual fundraiser is the Cookie Dough sale that was kicked off on Wednesday, August 31st. Mr. Cookie Dough (seen in the photo above) came to our school with his flashing lighted glove and showed us all of the cool prizes we could earn. We also learned that students are NOT to go door to door selling the cookie dough. We would prefer that parents ask their neighbors and family for their support. (It's safer for our young population.) We learned that if everyone in the school is able to sell just 3 items, the entire school will have a day in the spring when a bunch of jumping balloons will be set up and each class will have a 15 minute time slot to enjoy them!
The money from the cookie dough sales supports many of the things that we do in the school including purchasing more books for our Literacy Lab (those are the books students take home to read each night), providing money for field trips, and many other other purchases as well. Our school budget has been dramatically cut this year and things that we have taken for granted are now available on a more limited basis. The cookie dough makes delicious cookies and we've had many favorable comments about the quality. Your help and participation in our fundraiser is even more important this year and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support of all we do.
