Holiday Help Needed:
Windsor High School Student Government, kicked off our fundraiser and I need your help! We are raising money to support students in need during the holiday season. Last year we helped 57 elementary students, 11 middle school students, and 22 high school students. With the money we raised from this fundraiser, a Rodeo spirit night, toy drive collection, and "angel tree" participants, we gave hundreds of dollars in toys, gifts, clothing, personal needs items (shampoo, conditioner, etc.) as well as provided food cards and monetary donation to the Holiday Elves drive that our BETA sponsor, Mrs. Davis, does which gives two weeks worth of food to WHS families over the winter break. Every year the need is greater and our funds spread thinner. Will you please help me reach our goal? You can support our fundraiser by going to the link below. Personal Shopping link is: https://www.shopfund.com/Shop?sid=3817720&t=EM You can also purchase from an SGA Class Officer or Grade Level WIN Representative, they have their own codes to receive "credit" for their sales. Sales End Oct. 28 If you don't use the personal shopping link, you need to go to https://www.ShopFund.com click SHOP NOW and then put in Student Code: PYR29TRS
