💚 A HUGE THANK YOU to the Warsaw Booster Club! 💚 We’re excited to share that the Booster Club has officially paid off the athletic facility at WHS! 🙌 This wouldn’t have been possible without the generosity of our community. Your support for our student-athletes and athletic programs means more than words can express! This facility is more than just a building—it’s a space where numerous athletic teams can train, practice, and grow—rain or shine, year-round. To the Booster Club and our entire community: THANK YOU for investing in our athletes, our school, and our future! 💪🐾 #Tradition #Pride #WildcatExcellence #TrainingChampions
