What We Do:

We support our teachers and staff by providing meals and spontaneous acts of kindness throughout the year. We get great speakers to discuss timely topics to support families as they navigate the teen years. We provide assistance to highly mobile Washburn families in the form of winter clothing, boots, gas and food gift cards and much more. We organize the senior party to send the kids off with love and fun. We beautify our grounds so everyone is proud to be on campus. Through all of these cool things we do, we build community, because at the end of the day if our community is strong so are our kids and isn’t that what we are all here for?
