Our Annual Fundraiser
WELCHESTER ELEMENTARY
SCIENCE FAIR: Our annual science fair will take place on March 7th. Students will visit during the day to see their classmate's projects and families visit from 6-7pm.
PENNIES FOR PATIENTS: Our students raised $751.63 for patients during our Pennies for Patients "war". The classroom that raised the most funds will have a root beer float and Olive Garden pasta party!
WE ARE ALL CLOWNS: Circus Arts is still going strong even though there was no performance last month because of weather. Our clowns are practicing hard on their pogo sticks, unicycles, clown bikes, stilts, and of course, with juggling. If you know of a performance opportunity for them please contact Greg Aigner at greg.aigner@jeffco.k12.co.us
GREEN TEAM: Starting just last month a new club at Welchester began focusing on food waste during lunch. With the help of 53 students within 5 days, 226lbs of food waste was taken to a local farm by our school to give to their animals.
