Dear Ms. Scott,
The students and staff of Willard High School’s new broadcast journalism program would like to extend our most sincere gratitude to Conco Quarries, Inc. for their very generous financial contribution to our program. Thanks to their support, we were able to purchase three brand new iMac computers that will now enable students to edit their original video news stories and special projects.
This time last year, the Willard High School broadcast journalism program was just a dream. This ‘dream’ class started off the year with lots of enthusiasm, but very little equipment, all of it outdated. We were fortunate to begin building the program, thanks to an A+ grant, which got us half the way to our collective dream of creating a student-produced broadcast journalism program. Now, with Conco’s generous gift, our dream is closer than ever!
Conco’s commitment to our children and to our schools has been evident in many ways. This support represents another example of their corporate leadership and stewardship. Willard is extremely fortunate to have them in the community.
Thanks, Conco, for helping our dream come true!
Sincerely,
Donna Fishel
Journalism Adviser
Willard High School
I echo Mrs. Fishel’s sentiments, and wish to thank Conco Quarries for their continued support of Willard High School.
Don A. Tuck
WHS Principal
