The WSFCS Foundation has asked us to compile a wishlist of items for our school building, and they are looking for families and community partners to help donate directly to our building by selecting an item (or two) off the list to help brighten the faces of staff within the school. Staff members each added a few items to this list that they would personally like for their class spaces. If you are able to donate an item or two on our wishlist, we would greatly appreciate it. Lysol wipes, tissues, and pencils are always welcome too.
