Spring 2026 Fundraiser

This past April, we hosted our bi-annual dinner dance fund raiser. The Palm Royale raised over $225,000, a wild success.

The community came out in force to support WSFEE and by extension, D101. From businesses and families sponsoring the event, to many attendees coming out on the night of the event and participating in auctions and donations, the night was a huge success. We are incredibly grateful for the generous support from our Western Springs community.

Thank you to all our administrators, staff, teachers, parents and students for a phenomenal 2025-2026 year.
