Creating & Collaborating Happening in the Quest Program!
Their first showcase of learning is coming up- Roocade! Weatherford ISD 3rd -6th grade Quest (gifted and talented) students from all seven elementary campuses will display working arcade games they have crafted from cardboard and other materials. Guests will be able to play these games to raise money for a local charity. All proceeds will go to support Parker County Animal Shelter. The charity was determined by a district-wide student vote.
Attendees will be asked for a minimum donation of $2 per player for a “fun pass” to play as many games as they wish. Attendees may also want to contribute other items needed by the animal shelter including: towels, blankets, dog and cat food, cat litter, and cleaning supplies.
Don't Miss Roocade!
