Spring Fundraiser
The Spring Fundraiser is in full swing!
We are working with GroupFund, which organizes text-based pledge fundraisers. Please share your student's account link with friends and family and on your social media page.
We are raising funds for spring semester events (Wylie East Jazz Band Festival, Mark of Excellence and Citation of Excellence Awards) and to set us up for success in the Fall 2023 semester.
