Celebration of Promises
We would like to extend a THANK YOU to all the businesses and individuals who helped out with our major fundraiser of the year. Whether it was serving on the committee, donating an auction item, making a monetary donation, purchasing raffle tickets or meal tickets, or purchasing an item in the online auction, you contributed to the success of the Celebration of Promise Fundraiser. There were 834 meals served and although the final numbers are not totaled, the profit is expected to be around $52,000! The Celebration of Promise would not be the successful fundraiser it is without the support of everyone.
We would like to also thank our committee chairs Ashley & Graham Goltz, Julie & Tony Phillips, Shira & Chris Streeter, and Jodi & Jess Wenthold for all the extra time and effort they put into making this a successful event.

Transportation
South Winn will no longer allow students to use the buses for transporting friends to birthday parties, sleepovers, or other activities (such as pitching practice and park & rec). Only the students scheduled to ride the shuttle buses and route buses will be allowed. This is due to spring sports beginning and the lack of available room on the buses.
