WSR Community Schools Foundation

We are grateful to partner with community donors and alumni who help support our teachers and students in providing innovative, hands-on learning opportunities.

We are currently working with the high school to help fund new Anatomy in Clay manikins for our Anatomy & Physiology classes in time for the fall. This course continues to grow in popularity—so much so that a third section will be added!

We are seeking donations of any amount to help us reach our $6,000 goal. These durable manikins will be used year after year, giving students a hands-on, tactile way to better understand the human body.

We are also excited to share that we have already received a generous gift that has brought us closer to our goal—thank you for the support!

If you would like to contribute, please consider making a gift using the link below.
