High School WWF T-shirt Info:  Attached is the order form for the WWF t-shirt.  Here is a message from Jason Stephenson, the HS Student Council Sponsor:

For the past nine years, Deer Creek High School has united to raise money for a deserving individual or charity. This special week of assemblies, events, and school spirit is known as the Wonderful Week of Fundraising—WWF for short. This year’s 10th annual WWF takes place from February 24-March 3 (from a Wednesday to a Wednesday). The WWF 2010 charity is Spero:Voice, an organization which assists refugee families in Oklahoma City with assimilation, transportation, education, and more. Just last year, DCHS raised $47,500 for Cavett Kids Foundation. We hope to raise even more this year. One way you can support this cause is by purchasing a shirt. This year, you can choose between green or yellow for your shirt color.

Thanks in advance for your support.
