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!

This Friday, students and staff are invited to participate in Hat & Jersey Day for a $1 donation. All proceeds will go directly to the Jordan Ball family as they navigate this difficult time.
