HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! We've made it through another year, and it's probably safe to say we're all looking forward to a brighter and better future!! Here's to 2022!!! Why don't you choose to make THIS the year you take another step in making a difference at WFHS by joining us for our monthly PTSA meetings? We'd love to have your input! We meet the second Monday of every month at 7pm, which means our next meeting is Monday, January 10, 2022. Stay tuned to our social media pages for meeting locations, and/or email us for more info at ptsa.wfhs@gmail.com. As always, be sure to check out the bottom of the newsletter for links to the various social media pages and websites--including the grade-specific Facebook pages--where you will find the up-to-the-minute information most pertinent to your family. | Anyone interested in attending a Canes game?!? Harris Teeter and the Carolina Hurricanes have teamed up as part of their Together in Education initiative to provide an awesome opportunity for you to enjoy a Hurricane's game and give back to your school at the same time!! Check out this link to purchase tickets! Depending on the seats you select, $7 (upper level ticket) or $10 (lower level ticket) of each ticket will be donated back to the PTSA of your designation at the end of the season!! Woohoo!!! LET'S GO CANES!! | Do you know about these EASY ways you can support WFHS? While there are many ways you can help support WFHS, these are a couple of the easiest--and most helpful--ways you can help us serve our school: 1. Join the Cougar Challenge Our #1 goal as a PTSA is supporting the WFHS students and staff, and 100% of Cougar Challenge donations go toward fulfilling that goal! Please go to the "Join or Donate" page on our website, select "Cougar Challenge", and enter the amount you want to donate as your quantity. THANK YOU for anything you can contribute to help us get to our $5,000 goal!!!
2. Link your Rewards Cards! It takes just a couple of minutes to do! Go to the Free Fundraisers page of our website and use the links provided to enter your information, OR you can just scan the QR code above, answer a few questions, and we'll do it for you!! From August 1-July 31, a portion of everything you buy at these stores will go to support WFHS, and you don't have to do a single thing after linking it except shop as you normally would!
3. Shop at or donate to The Giving Tree! The Giving Tree on South Main Street is a local non-profit that accepts donations from the community with the specific goal of using the sales proceeds to generate funds for local schools!
4. Don't forget about AmazonSmile!! Do you use Amazon? Did you know your purchases can help the PTSA? Shop using smile.amazon.com instead of the basic Amazon site, and you can designate WFHS PTSA as a charity. This allows a small portion of your purchases to be donated to the PTSA, and you have to do absolutely NOTHING!! Easy-peasy!!
