Washington STEM Academy is set up again for their 2nd Annual Hornet Holiday Helpers! Last year, 75 students needed assistance during the holidays. The team matched them up with Washington families to help alleviate some of the stress of the holidays. This year, 108 students are signed up and they are still accepting applications through the 16th! Gifts come in next week and are due by the 16th. They also received monetary donations to go towards students that do not get matched up. Washington STEM Academy would like to thank all who have contributed to the 2nd Annual Hornet Holiday Helpers! If an individual, family, or organization would like to support this great cause, please contact Tiffany O'Malley at 574.371.5097 or tomalley@warsawschools.org #wcsmission #ayearofkindness #kindnesswcs #empathywcs
