WHS Global Studies/KIVA support.
by: Barbara Salverson
The Waunakee High School Global Studies class has decided to participate in funding people around the world with small loans through the organization called Kiva. These loans could potentially better their lives. From the Kiva website: "More than 1.7 billion people around the world are unbanked and can't access the financial services they need. Kiva is an international nonprofit, founded in 2005 in San Francisco, with a mission to expand financial services access to help underserved communities thrive. We do this by crowdfunding loans and unlocking capital for the underserved, improving the quality and cost of financial services, and addressing the underlying barriers to financial access around the world. Through Kiva's work, students can pay for tuition, women can start businesses, farmers are able to invest in equipment and families can afford needed emergency care. By lending as littles as $5 on Kiva, you can be part of the solution and make a real difference in someone's life. 100 % of every dollar you lend on Kiva goes to funding loans." The Global Studies students were able to see many people looking for lending from many of the countries they have been studying and they have chosen an individual to lend money to. Once the loan is paid back, a future class can choose another individual to lend to. This campaign will be ongoing.

Waunakee High School eSports Club
by: Barbara Salverson
The Waunakee Warriors High School eSports Club is in its debut season this year. First semester we have had some success with one team placing in the top 25 in the Midwest and almost fighting its way to a championship in the "Redemption Road" bracket. 2nd semester, we look to expand on the games and teams we send to play in the nationally renowned High School eSports League. 1st semester we had two teams playing two games and 2nd semester the goal is to have over six teams playing four different games. Senior Noah Stevens founded this club to give students who do not have the physical prowess to play athletic sports a chance to compete at a local, state and nationwide level. The Waunakee eSports Club is a place for students in all grades to come and be a part of something. In order to compete, the team needs to buy season passes for each player. Help us raise the money to buy these passes, giving our competitors a chance to represent our school and community!

2022 Snuggle Up and Read Campaign
by: PAUL MILLER
Our goal is to provide a tie-blanket and at least one book for each first grader at Westside Elementary School in Sun Prairie. Westside is a community school that relies on help from its neighborhoods to help make a difference in the lives of several children that have families that may struggle from time to time. We’d like to remind and share with these first graders the joy found in reading; especially when snuggling into a comfy blanket. Each fifth grade homeroom will be making five or six tie blankets. This will allow each of the 75 first grade students at Westside to have his/her own blanket as well as to have at least one book. We will work in homerooms to make the blankets, but we need some help in purchasing material for the blankets. It costs about $15 to make one 4 x 6 tie-blanket as well as provide a student-decorated gift bag for each blanket and book. The blankets and books are delivered prior to the first graders going on their winter break so they can have a book and a blanket to snuggle up and read with. Thank you for your support of this worthwhile service project. Waunakee Intermediate School

Yamaha S6X Concert Grand Piano for the HS/MS Music Department
by: MOLLY WEISS PETROFF
A committee made up of students, alumni, accompanists and music teachers explored, played and studied many high quality grand pianos this summer. After much discussion, this group has recommended the purchase of the Yamaha S6X for our PAC. The Waunakee has continually committed to providing students and community members with the latest technology. whether it's software, hardware, tools or instruments, in each vocation, we want our students to work with the tools that they will experience in their lives after high school. What pianos do professional musicians use or do they play or sing along with in their music-making? The Yamaha S6X is a professional level instrument with hand made precision-crafted elements that set it apart, while keeping it more affordable for schools and other institutions. Waunakee High School senior and pianist, Wilson Kierce, had this to say about the instrument: "I'm confident this piano is the right one for our space. The quality is unmatched, and I simply haven't played a piano on its level before." Copy this link to watch Wilson jam on the piano https://shorturl.at/ejmEY Help us celebrate the legacy of music in our schools with your donation to this concert grand piano that will resonate for years to come. All donations will be recognized on a plaque in our Performing Arts Center and recognized in our May concert programs.

Support WHS Theatre and The Pirates of Penzance
by: MOLLY WEISS PETROFF
We hope you enjoyed our production of Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Pirates of Penzance." as much as we enjoyed putting it together. The performing arts have had a difficult year, but we, like many, have found ways to keep the lights on. The Waunakee High School drama department relies heavily on tickets sales to support our programming. In fact, the district supplies only the salaries for the directors. We had many costs this year including costumes, music scores, props, choreographer stipend, and general production costs. Without ticket revenue, financing this project will be difficult. Your donation helps us maintain a balance in our accounts so that we can continue to provide programming for our students and for our community in the years ahead. Thank you for your support!

Waunakee Dance Team
by: Aaron May
The Waunakee High School Varsity Dance team provides dancers the opportunity learn various competitive dance routines to compete with the WACPC (Wisconsin Association of Cheer/Pom Coaches, Inc) organization in Regional, State and National dance competitions. In addition to competition, the Varsity Dance team performs dance routines and sidelines at various Waunakee High School athletic and student events. They also perform at Waunakee Community Events, such as the Waunafest Parade. Each year the Dance team hosts dance clinics, teaching dance routines to aspiring young dancers in our community and giving those young dancers the chance to perform in front of a hometown crowd at a high school sporting event. The Waunakee High School Varsity Dance team is currently responsible for 100% of their operating fees. Like many others, the COVID-19 pandemic has drastically reduced our ability to conduct our traditional fundraising efforts this season. Funds raised will be used to pay for competition fees, costume fees, as well as other ancillary costs. Past fundraising efforts have also resulted in the installation of a padded marley dance floor, moving our dancers off of a concrete dance surface an aiding in the reduction dance related injuries. Please consider supporting your Waunakee High School Varsity Dance team, so that we can continue to provide an opportunity for area dancers to represent the Waunakee Warriors.

Gymnastics Fundraising Campaign
by: Aaron May
Thank you for checking out our page! We are the combined high school gymnastics team for Waunakee and DeForest, and we are raising money for a new spring floor and carpet as well as two new balance beams. In addition to this fundraiser, we raise money by offering services throughout the year. Our team cleans up the football stadium following home football games, participates in wreath sales. Our gymnastics families help out by managing the concessions during our Youth Night. The Waunakee-DeForest gymnastics family also runs a summer gymnastics camp for kids ranging in age from 5 to 18. Your donation will not only provide the team with an equipment setup that offers added safety, it will also benefit the Waunakee and DeForest communities by allowing our gymnastics family to extend the increased safety advantages of the new floor setup and beams to our youth program.

WCSD Marching Percussion Renewal
by: JAMES SERCOMBE
The purpose of this campaign is to replace and refurbish our marching percussion equipment for Waunakee Community Middle and High School. Our percussion instruments are used throughout the year and are shared between the High School in the summer and fall, and Middle School in the spring. Many of our instruments are in disrepair and require continual maintenance to be functional. We are hoping to purchase more light-weight equipment that will be easier to carry, especially for our Middle School students. This campaign will replace our primary set of marching snares, quad toms and bass drums. We would be able to replace our oldest equipment, and refurbish our current equipment for extended use with our increasing enrollment. For more information about this campaign, and the current state of our marching percussion, please visit our Music Boosters website at https://sites.google.com/waunakee.k12.wi.us/waunakeemusicboosters/marchingpercussionrenewal Donations by check be made payable to WCSD and delivered to the Waunakee High School main office.

The Innovation Center offers a unique space where STEAM education can experienced by students and community. Our students are able to grow their STEAM skills through courses offered at Waunakee Community High School and then expand those skills in the Innovation Center. This space will soon offer a chance for community education classes to help introduce community members to new technologies becoming more prevalent in traditional areas. Now that we are set up we are working on opening up the Innovation Center members of the community to use for work on projects, explore hobbies and learn new skills but we need your help. We are constantly looking support in terms of financial and material donations. This campaign will allow us to: -Purchase cutting edge equipment and technology to facilitate exploration of innovative ideas -Allow district students and the community access to equipment not normally available. -Implement new curriculum offerings. -Create a "YES" space for all district wide curricular areas to collaborate in. -Host a wide variety of programming including educational programs, summer camps and other events for all Waunakee community members. -Build a community landmark. As part of this fundraising campaign we will also be finishing our donation wall that outside the Innovation Center is an integral part of the design of this space. On the right side of this page you will see a rewards section with more details on this wall. We will currently be offering a half price campaign for families to become part of the Innovation Center story. We are currently offering our 200.00 tile for 100.00 in order to finish the donor wall. To make a donation different than the predetermined amount simply click the "other" button and enter the amount you would like to donate. You may also choose to set up a recurring donation if you would like. Students, teachers and community members all benefit from this space because users are able to chase their dreams and explore their ideas without fear using innovative technology and collaborating with some of the brightest minds in Waunakee and the world.
