The WHS Class of 1971 Legacy Fund is something we built together as classmates. As part of our 55th Reunion, we are awarding approximately $10,000 in grants to projects that will benefit Washington Community Schools students anywhere from Pre-K through 12th grade. We expect to make five awards in the approximate amounts of $5,000, $3,000, $1,000, $500, and $500. Your vote will help determine which projects receive these grants, so we encourage every classmate to participate.
Voting Instructions:Please vote YES for up to five projects you would most like to see funded and NO for the others. The five projects receiving the most YES votes will receive our grants. Be sure to click the "Submit" button at the very bottom of the page to register your vote.
