WAXAHACHIE - The Wax-ahachie Junior Service League recently donated more than
$2,500 to the Waxahachie Independent School District.
This year, the WJSL donated $200 to each of the school’s counseling
departments to assist students in need.
WJSL also supports Waxa-hachie ISD’s DEAR Day, Education Foundation Golf
Tournament and Project Graduation monetarily.
Furthermore, the organization sponsors a Girls State Representative, a Community
Service Scholarship and the Stroope Art Scholarship.
In addition to monetary funding, service league members volunteer their time as
DEAR Day readers, presenting the Go Van Gogh program and providing tutoring for
WISD students.
"We are pleased that we have organizations such as the Waxahachie Junior Service
League who support the district the way they do," stated Thomas J. Collins, WISD
Superintendent.
"It is imperative that schools have community support and Waxahachie ISD is
fortunate to have a community that embraces education."
