The FAFSA is now open for any students who are planning to apply for financial aid for college! Head over to fafsa.gov to start your application! Remember, each student/parent filling out the FAFSA needs to create an FSA ID prior to filling out the FAFSA. You can find more information about that on the WHS Counselor webpage. It's also important to get your FAFSA filled out early to ensure you make the financial aid priority deadlines for the colleges/programs you apply for!

Our high school student council hosted the Flint Hills League Student Council workshop today. A big thanks to the Wabaunsee County Extension office for presenting over team building and character development. Also, thank you to Stop 2 Shop for providing lunch.
During the Holiday Season, we reflect on the blessings in our lives and the importance of gratitude and sharing. For many of us, this time also brings poignant reminders of loved ones who are no longer with us, especially those who have been taken by cancer.
Recently, I was visited by a group dedicated to supporting families in the Wabaunsee community who are facing the challenges of a cancer diagnosis. The Caring Neighbors organization, a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit, was established by community members in 2015 to offer financial assistance to individuals and families navigating this difficult journey.
The Caring Neighbors Cancer Fund helps defray expenses not covered by health insurance, such as deductibles, co-pays, and travel costs associated with treatment. This entirely volunteer-run organization operates without administrative costs, ensuring every dollar donated goes directly to those in need. The committee members, some of whom have experienced their own cancer battles, are committed to making a difference while maintaining the utmost confidentiality for those they assist.
If you or someone you know needs this support, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Applications are simple and only require a meeting with two committee members. Assistance is available to Pottawatomie and Wabaunsee counties residents with a cancer diagnosis.
For more information or to request help, you may contact:
Chris Day at 785-456-5325
Donna Goehring at 785-458-9205
Let’s come together as a community to share this resource and support our neighbors in their time of need.
