Special Education Donation
Each year, our local Knights of Columbus host a special breakfast fundraiser for 2 organizations they are passionate about, one being the WUS Special Education Department. This year the fundraiser was heavily attended, allowing for the Knights of Columbus to make a generous donation of $2,100. We are once again blown away by the generosity of our community, WUS would like to sincerely thank the Knights of Columbus for their continued support of our special education students.
