On Friday, October 16th, two Schwan’s trucks pulled into the Wausa School parking lot to complete the Elementary Schwan’s fundraiser. The elementary families did a great job. The Wausa Parent Council earned $1,877.32 from Schwan’s. Parent Council also received about $200 in donations. All of the money will go towards safer school swings.
In appreciation for a fundraiser well done, the elementary students received an ice cream bar with their school lunch, Wednesday, October 27th, compliments of Schwan’s Food Service. They also provided some prizes for a drawing that was held Tuesday afternoon.
Thank you Schwan’s for giving us this opportunity and thank you to the Wausa community for making this a successful fundraiser. It is truly amazing what we can do when we work together.

This project should receive an A+ from the School Board. However, one simple question: What do “safe swings” have that make them safer?
I thought maybe each ‘swinger’ wearing some football gear would be the ultimate safe swing!
Looking for another project that would have great dividends on that playground??? Maybe the Parent Council would lower those two basketball supports to 8′ so the kids could learn how to shoot a basketball vs. heaving it. (Those high baskets create more learned, bad habits, {the keyword is “Shoot”,} than you may think.) Either that or buy a dozen or more 6″ diameter basketballs.
I have other suggestions on how to create more play time there that doesn’t require more than a small investment of energy and a few funds. That’s another subject for later if anyone is interested.
The Parent Council ROCKS! Go Mighty Vikes
