Making the Moment Special!

Help me give my students a dressed up gym for their graduation ceremony!

My Project

One of the things the students at WPHS hate the most is graduating from the gym. Unlike other schools, we do not possess an up-to-date football field for an outdoor ceremony or an auditorium large enough to accommodate the ceremony. Nonetheless, we still try to make the best of what we do have.

With your support, we will be able to transform the gym into a space worthy of the graduation of our students.

We will utilize the chair covers to dress up the standard folding chairs and the tablecloths will cover our standard-issue folding tables. The table runners will be draped over the chairs of our honor roll students.

Should you choose to help us make this transformation you will make a momentous day even more special!
