Message from the WSHS VABC
WSHS Viking Spirit Blanket– Preorders Open! The Vikings Athletic Booster Club is excited to kick off our Spirit Blanket Fundraiser! We are selling custom WSHS Viking Spirit Blankets for $25 each. These blankets are perfect for staying warm during chilly game nights, showing your Viking pride at school events, or even giving as a holiday gift. All proceeds from the fundraiser help VABC continue supporting our student-athletes and athletic programs throughout the school year. Preorders are open now through November 25. We anticipate the blankets arriving in mid-December, depending on production and shipping times. Once they arrive, orders can be picked up at the WSHS Spirit Store on Fridays or from Mrs. Kari Lane in the Activities Director’s Office. We’ll send an update when orders are ready for pickup. Preorder your blanket today. All proceeds support WSHS Athletics and our student athletes.
Our Spirit Store, open on Fridays during lunch, is entirely volunteer run, and we need your help! It's a great way to meet other parents and help spread school spirit while supporting our Athletes! Please sign up for a shift that fits your schedule! Don't have a Friday available, but want to get involved with the Boosters? Email us at gowoodbridge@gmail.com and we'll be happy to put your talents to good use.
Finally, the Viking Athletic Booster Club is looking for businesses to partner with as sponsors for the 2026-2027 school year! Your business's donations can help to support either a specific team, or the Athletics program as a whole! If you are interested, please email us for more details.
