WCS Seniors in Need of Help with Fees


This time of year, graduating seniors have to pay off their school fees to be able to attend prom, go on the school Cedar Point trip and get their diploma. There are a huge variety of reasons why students accumulate fees over their high school years and much of it is due to financial strain. Would you consider donating to help these students finish their year strong? This support helps students focus on the positive parts of their senior year instead of feeling left out and stressed about money. Any amount helps and the students are so grateful!
