This month, 6 students from Wauwatosa East will go to the University of Tennessee to compete in a global competition against schools from 50 states and 40 countries in an event called “Destination ImagiNation.”
The trip will cost $10,000 and be paid for by fundraising efforts of students, parents and the Wauwatosa school system. We are asking a few prominent businesses in the area to sponsor our kids on their journey.
Please say yes to our request, and, if you have questions, call Jim Elliott, Wauwatosa parent, at 414-258-9141. You can also call Nadine Halligan at 414-771-9835. Thank you for your consideration of this wonderful program.You’ll find more information below.
