Donations and volunteers needed for annual Big Blue Weekend event
Walla Walla High School staff and student leaders are gearing up for Big Blue Weekend on October 12-14. More than 450 Wa-Hi Students and staff will travel to Antelope, OR to build connections, listen to inspirational speakers and have fun.

This program is specifically targeted to encourage freshman and students who need extra support to attend. There are several ways for staff, parents and community members to help us make this a great experience for Wa-Hi students.

Donated items needed:
- a coat or thick sweatshirt
- a small suitcase or zippered bag

If you would like to donate items, please contact Melito Ramirez at 509-526-8638 or mramirez@wwps.org.

Work crew members and chaperones are also needed. Work crew members work behind the scenes to prepare and serve meals. Its hard but rewarding work. Chaperones sleep in cabins with 10-14 students and are members (not leaders) of small student groups that meet approximately four times throughout the weekend. Contact Carina Stillman at cstillman@wwps.org or 527-3020 ext. 4693.

If you cant participate, but would like to donate to Big Blue Weekend or sponsor a $60 Student Scholarship, please send your check to the ASB Office and mark it BBW or BBW Scholarship. Last year 75 scholarships were provided thanks to the generosity of district staff and community members.
