CELEBRATION TIME! Several teachers submitted projects to enhance the educational experiences of the students here at Wausa and all we can say is, it's a GREAT DAY to be a Viking!

Donors Choose is a non profit organization that finds donors throughout the United States to help educational programs and teachers get the resources they need in the classroom and school.
