Windsor Donates

News Progress Posted on by

Submitted Windsor Donates Recently, the Windsor Jr/Sr High School student council held a fundraising drive to collect money for donations to be sent to those impacted by last month’s tornadoes in Washington. Students sold links for a Giving Chain for $1 per link. Anyone who donated had their name added to a link that was then put onto the chain. The chain then was hung up in the school so that students could watch as it grew each day. Thanks to the generous donations of the community and the school the WHS student council was able to buy $466 in donations for Secret Santa gifts that were sent to families in Washington.
