Ways Parents Can Help Raise Funds For Promotion
The WAMS PTA has created some ways to help raise the needed funds to pay for 8th grade promotion.
Here is how you can help:
1. Buy a one-day pass to Wild Water Adventures Water Park for $15. PTA will be in front of Walmart on Feb 13th & 20th from 10-2 p.m. selling tickets. You may also stop by the WAMS office. We have 450 tickets to sell.... 100% of the money goes towards promotion.
2. Students will be receiving fundraising materials to sell candles on February 8th. There is an approximate profit margin of 50% and all profits go towards promotion. If every student sold 1 candle, we estimate our profits to be $5000.
3. Parents may make a donation at any time. Either stop by the WAMS front office or see at PTA board member.
4. We will be selling WAMS Class of 2010 t-shirts in Feb/March. Approximately $4 per shirt will go towards promotion. Details will be coming out shortly.
We have approximately $4400 raised so far. PTA has set a goal of $9000.

A Pig Named Bertha Gives A Sanger 8th Grade Class Hope
Watch Bertha Video
This 200 pound pig walked the streets of Sanger getting donations from local businesses. The donations would go to pay for the promotion ceremony at WAMS. Budget cuts forced the school to cancel their promotion ceremony.
(Thanks to KSEE Channel 24 for their coverage of this story.)
Correction to story: 8th grade students do not "graduate" they are "promoted" to high school. High school students "graduate."
