The WJHS Student Council is excited to host a Quarter Auction fundraiser with the help of Renaissance and the National Honor Society. This fun and fast-paced event brings our school community together in support of student programs while bidding on great prizes—all for just a few quarters!
A quarter auction is part raffle, part auction, and part fundraiser. Participants buy numbered paddles for $1 and bid 1–2 quarters on displayed items. If your chosen number for that item is drawn, you win! The more paddles you purchase, the better your chances of winning are. It’s a low-cost, exciting way to shop and support WJHS.
Come join us on Friday, March 6th from 6pm - 9pm, for a fun night at the Quarter Auction
