Wethersfield School District

$8,562 was donated to the Kewanee Food Pantry by the Wethersfield Chapter of the National Honor Society. Mrs. Lay is incredibly proud of all the NHS students who came up with creative ideas, organized meaningful projects, and worked so hard to ensure their success. She wants to give a heartfelt thank-you to everyone who contributed—students who volunteered, staff, family and friends, community members, raffle donors, and business sponsors. Your support helped show these young leaders that their actions can truly make a difference in the community and in the lives of others. Her hope is that they carry this spirit of service and continue making a positive impact long after their time at WHS.

Just a reminder that our school-wide food drive will end on December 17. We encourage everyone to donate if they are able—every contribution helps support local families in need during the holiday season. Thank you for your generosity and continued support!

Wethersfield School District partnered with local Gustafson Ford for a Drive4URSchool fundraiser event in October. The district was able to achieve its goal of 200 completed surveys and was presented with a check from Ford Motor Company by Courtlin Gustafson. Monies will be used to enhance educational experiences in the classrooms. A portion of the donation was also given to Habitat for Humanity. Thank you to everyone who staffed the event, stopped out to test drive a vehicle, and complete a survey!
