Cocoa for a Cause

The Wright Way Club (WWC) would like to thank the school-wide community for collectively raising $581 during its Cocoa for a Cause fundraiser to benefit the National Wildlife Federation. A special shout out to the WWC members for all of their hard work! WWC members organize fundraisers, providing students an opportunity to develop leadership skills. Students also participate in activities that build compassion and nurture their well-being and the well-being of others. Please visit the school's Google Doc folder for pictures of the fundraiser.
