Investments

Financial advisors encourage investing in the future. But sometimes, the future can invest in the present.

Grandview Elementary School received a surprise visit by WHS Marching Band drum majors, Megan Minear and Tyler Mayle who visited music teacher, Sue Loucks' first period 5th grade music class. The drum majors taught the kids how the band is called to order and directed them in the William Tell Overature. Several in the class indicated an interest in joining the high school band programs someday. Who knows? A little investment by these WHS leaders today may have inspired some future band leaders!

The four elementary school principals, David Grubbs (Grandview), Dan Cox (Mountain View), Tammy Seib (Skyview), and Dan Seegmiller (Tozer) coordinated a "loose change" drive with the music staffs at their respective schools. The high school and middle school have also helped with similar fundraising. A big thanks to all the students in all the schools for their generous help!

The Grandview 5th graders thanked their "Pride of Windsor" visitors by presenting the proceeds of Grandview's fund raising drive. The "future" in fact invested in the "present".

    I'm so pleased to see you phrased this donation as an investment. Whether our Grandview Eagles grow up to become musicians or not, the opportunity to participate in helping fellow community members was our honor. We wish everyone involved in this historical event (band members, directors, parents, supporters) our best and we thank you for representing Weld Re-4. We are proud of you and proud to be able to say we played a small part in supporting you.
