WAC 2024 FALL FUNDRAISER September 23 – 27, 2024
Tanglewood Elementary School’s annual fall fundraiser is called “WAC” which stands for “Write a Check”!
WHAT IS GO WAC?
GO WAC stands for Give Online! Write a Check! We want to make it simple for our Tanglewood families! 100% of your tax-deductible donation goes directly to the PTA. There’s only ONE chance and ONE week to give this semester…and it’s coming up during GO WAC week!
WHY GO WAC?
The Tanglewood PTA provides so many incredible programs and “extras” for our students that are not provided by FWISD. Your GO WAC donation funds: Think Tank/STEAM lab, Spanish program, enhanced campus security, Artapalooza (Fine Arts Day), Field Day, Splash Day, Fall Carnival and SO MUCH MORE! If you break it down, the PTA contributes approximately $825 per student in recurring expenses per year!
