Dear WCHS Families,
WCHS Parent Council Executive hosts four school council meetings throughout the year, brings in special speakers, and manages initiatives like Staff Appreciation. While we try to keep costs to a minimum, there are certain operating expenses which are unavoidable.
One way you can support us is by donating your empties to the Parent Council SkipTheDepot campaign. It is simple and easy! Please find more information about the campaign here. This is an ongoing campaign and you can donate at your convenience.
If you would like to make a donation directly to Parent Council, we accept e-transfers at wchsexec@gmail.com. Please feel free to contact us at this address if you have any questions or need more information.
Thank you for supporting us!
