September 2020
Welcome back WBLAS teachers, students and staff to another exciting school year!

It is hard to believe that it is already September and the school year is about to start! I am seeing that the energy is high with growth opportunities taking place in the school district and at the Foundation. There are many exciting things happening at the Foundation in October:
  • Our Annual BEAR Legacy Fundraiser is right around the corner on October 1, with an added special door prize drawing you won't want to miss. Read on to learn more about the details and be sure to register today to secure a VIP seat at the event.
  • The Ryan grant deadline is fast approaching: October 6
  • The Brosious grant deadline is only 6 weeks away: October 20

I hope to connect soon!

Best Wishes,
