Each year, the Foundation for WAPS organizes a fundraising campaign to support the top needs of District 861. For the 2025-2026 school year, the Foundation Board of Directors has selected the WAPS Industrial Technology Program as the beneficiary! Please join us in “Forging a Future” for WAPS students through our $100,000 fundraising goal.
Industrial Tech allows hands-on learning where students use tools, machinery, and computer systems to solve problems and build solutions. Through this, students gain and apply technical knowledge to real-world scenarios, “Forging a Future” for a variety of career paths.
Mark your calendar for Saturday, May 9, 2026:
• Morning – 3rd Annual Donut Dash 4K & 1K Mini Donut Kids Run at WSHS
• Evening – 14th Annual Fundraising Dinner at Winona State University Kryzsko Ballroom
