WWE SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY
PTSA and Student Government Partner Up - May 2022
During ‘Hat Day’ on April 27th, WWE’s Student Government helped raise $847 to support Marshall Fire victims and PTSA voted to match the donation. Nearly $1,700 will be donated to Impact on Education, a foundation that supports the Boulder Valley School District’s staff and students. Its Marshall Fire Relief initiative provides resources to families, including school supplies, mental health support and financial support.
Giving Back To Our Marshall Fire Neighbors
Following the Marshall Fires, WWE PTSA identified initial ways to help support those impacted by the fires. Carrie Cornejo, Principal at Meiklejohn Elementary in Arvada, and her family lost their home to the fire. PTSA voted to donate $500 to the Cornejo family. The Cornejo’s also have a GoFundMe page setup here for additional donations. In addition, Monarch K-8 in Louisville had several staff that were impacted by the fire and has created a MealTrain to provide them lunch. PTSA members voted to and provided their staff with a delicious Qdoba lunch on Jan. 28th.
