Campus+Fundraiser

The campus fundraiser has been a time when students and families sold various items and a percentage of the proceeds are returned to the school. Typically the school would receive 40 cents for every dollar with the remaining 60 cents going to the vendor. Our school-wide fundraiser is a simple approach that is more cost effective for both campus and WMS families. The fundraiser asks for one simple donation of $20 per child. 100% of the proceeds will be coming directly to WMS. All students that contribute to the fundraiser will attend an ice cream social during 5th period on a designated day after the fundraiser is concluded. If the campus reaches 80% of student participation all students on campus will attend ice cream social.
