Whetstone Athletic & WAPA Boosters are raising funds to continue our support of Whetstone athletes, musicians, and stage performers. Of the almost 1,000 students at Whetstone, about 500 participate in athletics and more than 300 participate in music and/or theater.
 
The Boosters traditionally fund expenses that coaches and teams need to be successful during a season, monetary awards for graduating students, banners for senior athletes, musical instrument maintenance, uniforms, stage sound and lighting, and upgrades to facilities, among other student needs.
 
Please help us to continue to provide critical experiences for our Whetstone students!
 
How you can Help:

Parents: Students will be going door to door on Saturday, October 25, from 10 am to Noon. We need drivers to take the students out on the 63 planned routes. Parents, please sign up at this link:
