Spring Conferences:
Waukazoo Student Council Coin Drive:
The Coin Challenge is back at Waukazoo! Next week, grade levels will compete to see who can bring in the most money! On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, coins will count toward a grade level, and bills will count against it! On Tuesday and Thursday, coins and bills will all count toward a grade level! Fun!
This year, our funds will purchase a plaque for the new addition as well as a time capsule that will be opened in the future! Students will decide on the contents of the time capsule, and it will be tucked away behind the plaque! Cool! Remaining funds will be used for other expenses for our special 150 year celebration!
Please send in coins and dollar bills during the week of March 4. Thank you for supporting Waukazoo's Coin Challenge!
