PSE donates to Adopt-a-Blue Devil Program

Members of the Public Schools Employees voted to donate $1000 to the Adopt-a-Blue Devil campaign with the United Way of Walla Walla. The new Adopt-a-Blue Devil program helps support students in financial need participate fully in school activities.

"The members of PSE recognize the importance of meeting the needs of the whole student,” said PSE President BJ Colvin. “We feel passionate about providing every opportunity to students we work and see the daily benefit that being involved in extra-curricular activities has on our students here in the district. The chapter felt very strongly that the students who benefit the most from being involved are often not able to afford that involvement. By giving to the Adopt a Blue Devil campaign we felt that it was one more way that we could give back to these students and better our community now and in the future."

Funds may be used to help pay for athletic equipment or fees, rent a band instrument, purchase a graduation cap and gown, or pay dues to join a school club/activity. This program will serve instrumental in ensuring that no willing student in Walla Walla is turned away due to their family’s limited financial capacity Community members wishing to donate may visit the United Way of Walla Walla website:  http://www.unitedwayww.org/
