fundraising.
To help keep tuition to a minimum, all WCS families are asked to participate in a variety of school-wide fundraisers.
These fundraisers provide an atmosphere of fellowship and friendship for our families. Each family is assigned to a committee to facilitate these fundraising events.
SOUP & PIE SUPPER.
The WCS families provide soups, sandwiches, and pies for a community fundraising meal held each October. Take ou meals are available for our farmers busy in the fields.
OTHER OPPORTUNITIES.
The school also participates in other fundraising opportunities that may include WCS families and friends. One example is collecting/using the app to scan Box Tops for Education.
DONATION AUCTION.
This December event is historically our biggest fundraiser. Items that are creative, practical, tasty, and more are donated to this massive auction by area businesses, and WCS families and supporters.
Thank you to Prins Auctions for their talented services.
HOSTESS SUPPER.
Each spring, WCS families host tables at this celebrated event where guests are treated to an evening out with dinner and entertainment. A free-will offering is taken in support of the school.

Donation statements are available upon request.
GRAIN DRIVE.
Each fall, farmers have an easy opportunity to donate to WCS! As you are dropping off your load at the elevator, just tell them you'd like to donate the proceeds of a specified amount to the school. They'll take care of the rest!

T.R.I.P Tuition Reduction.
The Tuition Reduction Incentive Program (T.R.I.P.) is a program to provide families an opportunity to earn money for school tuition.
Gift cards and/or gift certificates may be purchased for participating businesses, with a percentage of the purchase given back to the school, for the student(s) of your choice.
The percentage donated varies by business, but ranges from 2% to 20%.
Parents, grandparents, family and friends participate.
Gift cards/certificates may be purchased in-person at Main Street Kids/The Country Stork in downtown Worthington (224 10th Street). TRIP cards must be paid for by cash or check. Credit cards cannot be accepted. It is recommended that if you need a large number of cards/certificates, that you call in advance (507-376-3325).
"TRIP Slips", listing all participating businesses, donation percentages, and gift card denominations are available at both Main Street Kids and WCS. This is a FREE program that provides free money toward your tuition, so why not begin participating today?!
