Hey, Go-Hawks! Is your class celebrating a milestone reunion year?

If your graduating class is marking 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 years or beyond, consider creating a reunion giving goal through the Waverly-Shell Rock Community Schools Foundation and leave a lasting impact on current and future Go-Hawks!

Coming together for a class gift is a fun way to reconnect, rally your classmates around a common goal, and do something meaningful for the school that helped shape us. Whether your class is competitive, community-minded, or simply looking for a special way to celebrate your reunion, giving through the W-SR Community Schools Foundation can create a lasting impact while bringing classmates together.

The Foundation can help you:
• Select a purpose for your gift
• Establish a fundraising goal
• Create a custom online giving page
• Design graphics and promotional materials to engage classmates

Class gifts can support:
• The Go-Hawk Scholarship Fund
• Smart Money Teacher Grants
• General Foundation support
• Specific programs, projects, departments, teams, or initiatives that are meaningful to your class

Need some inspiration?

🖤 The Class of 1969 raised an incredible $69,000 for scholarships.
💛 The Class of 1995 raised more than $10,000 for scholarships.
🤍 The Classes of 1996 and 2006 are currently working toward a goal to celebrate 30 & 20 years.

Whether your class would like to raise $500 or $50,000, every gift helps strengthen educational opportunities for Waverly-Shell Rock students and staff while honoring the legacy of your graduating class.

If your class is interested in organizing a reunion giving effort, contact the Waverly-Shell Rock Community Schools Foundation by sending a message or emailing [email protected].

We'd love to help you create a giving opportunity that reflects your class's interests, celebrates your reunion, and supports the future of Waverly-Shell Rock.

Smart Money Teacher Grant in Action!

Elementary counselors Tonya Poppe and Mary Foy received a Smart Money Teacher Grant this past spring to purchase three therapeutic sand tables—one for each elementary school: North Ridge, Prairie West, and Shell Rock.

The sand tables give students a safe, developmentally appropriate way to express emotions when they don't yet have the words to describe what they're are feeling. Counselors have found them especially helpful for students experiencing grief, trauma, anxiety, or foster care transitions. Students are often drawn to the sand tables as soon as they enter the counseling office, where the activity helps them feel calm, build trust with their counselor, and open the door to meaningful conversations.

Although the tables arrived later in the school year, they are already making a difference—and because they're a lasting resource, they will continue supporting WSR students for years to come.

Thank you to Tonya and Mary for bringing this idea forward, and thank you to our generous donors for making projects like this possible!

We love hearing how Foundation-funded grants are making a difference in our schools!

Mrs. Kelly Goeke, Title I Reading Instructor at North Ridge Elementary, recently shared this update after receiving funding for non-digital reading games for her students:

"Today's students are already exposed to a great deal of technology, so I saw an opportunity to take things 'old school' with board and card games that make learning hands-on and engaging. Since receiving my purchase, my students have enjoyed earning Fun Friday game days, as well as incorporating the games into daily lessons or filling a few extra minutes at the end of their sessions. I purchased games that reinforce a wide range of literacy skills, including phonemic awareness, phonics, spelling, vocabulary, high-frequency words, and reading comprehension. It has truly been a joy watching them learn and grow through play."

Thank you, Mrs. Goeke, for sharing your impact report and for finding creative ways to engage students in literacy. We're proud to support innovative classroom ideas that help Waverly-Shell Rock students learn, grow, and thrive!
