Description

The Wrentham Elementary Schools Trust, Inc. (WEST) needs your help to continue offering high quality educational enrichment programs to the children in our community. We are holding our annual fundriaser on 5/4/24 and are expecting 220 guests.

We are asking for donations of services, experiences, products, or gift certificates for the auction at our annual Kentucky Derby Fundraising event being held on May 4, 2024 in Franklin, MA. All contributions and all donors will be acknowledged on our Facebook & Instagram pages, through event signage and in our newsletter, The Compass, which reaches over 1000 readers.

If you are unfamiliar with WEST, we are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization based in Wrentham and founded in 2007 by parent volunteers with a mission to provide quality educational experiences for our public-school students that would not be possible under the current operating budget. At WEST we believe that great schools build strong communities and we sincerely appreciate your help in fulfilling our mission. Proceeds will enable us to continue to support our administrators, teachers, and staff in offering excellent educational opportunities for our students.

 

We recently funded the Traveling Scientist Grant for our students in 4th grade, the Frax Online Grant for our students in 3rd grade, and a schoolwide technology support grant. These resources are all curriculum based and can be used with students this year and for years to come. With your help we hope we can continue to aid the school with more tools and resources needed in the ever-changing world we live in. 

If you are able to donate, items may be mailed to WEST, P.O. Box 852 Wrentham MA 02093 or one of our board members will gladly pick anything up you are willing to share. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly at 774-452-6161 or at info@wrenthamwest.org.  

Thank you from all of us at the Wrentham Elementary Schools Trust! To find out more about WEST and the programs we fund, please visit our website at www.WrenthamWEST.org
