At Wichita Collegiate School, we believe in fundraising! We raise funds above and beyond what our families pay in tuition for the “extras” that make our school very special. Your tuition dollars are used to pay for salaries and benefits of the faculty and staff, along with program expenses, and facility maintenance, so we rely on the generosity of our families, our alumni, and our friends of the school to pay for extra educational and extracurricular enhancements which set our school apart from others in the community. At right is our Glossary of Giving; we hope you are never overwhelmed by the fundraising that happens on our campus - and we know there’s a lot of it - but we want you to see where the funds are going. Thank you for your support of WCS through your generous, tax-deductible donations! We appreciate your commitment to making our school the special place that it is!

Sincerely,

Joan Siefkes Moore ’84 Director of Advancement
