WHS Sources of Strength is in it’s 2nd year at the high school and is hosting a Color Blaze Run on October 19th. The 2-mile fun run will help raise funds for NAMI Fox Valley (Northeast Alliance on Mental Illness) and for the WHS SOS campaigns throughout the school year that support the mission of this amazing group of students. The funds raised by this race will directly benefit our WCSD students.
Register online for the run at www.getmeregistered.com/WHSSourcesofStrength. You can also pick up a hard copy of the registration forms in the high school office or in the Wrightstown Student and Community Wellness Center. Contact Lisa Van Dyke with any questions: vandyke@wrightstown.k12.wi.us
