About DECA: DECA helps students develop leadership, communication, problem-solving, and career readiness skills through real-world competitive experiences. Students work through business and professional scenarios, present to judges, and gain confidence and experience that prepares them for future careers in many different fields. The WMHS DECA program costs over $65,000 annually to operate, and students are responsible for the cost. Since the school provides no direct financial assistance, we rely heavily on community support to help make these opportunities accessible to all students.
The funds raised from the road race and any donations will directly reduce these costs, making it possible for more students to participate and benefit from DECA's invaluable experiences. If you have any questions or need further information, please contact me at jkeenan@woburnps.com or 617-233-7118.
Thank you for considering our request. Your support will make a significant difference in the lives of our students.
Warm regards,
Jennifer Keenan
WMHS DECA Advisor and Business Teacher
