Several Members of Western Wayne High School’s Future Business Leaders of America and the Junior Academy of Science chapters partnered with the Ford Motor Company to help raise funds for their projects called Drive 4 UR School.

It’s not easy being a high school organization these days. A sluggish economy means tight budgets and tough choices.   Recently, however,

With the help of the Wayne County Ford dealership in Honesdale, the students organized, promoted and held a one-day Ford test drive event for the surrounding community. For every qualified test drive that was completed at the event, Ford donated $20 to the school, with a goal of raising up to $6,000 total.
The money raised through this activity will be used by the FBLA members to help finance their upcoming trip to the National Leadership Conference in Chicago to participate in a variety of competitive events.  Meanwhile, the Junior Academy students will use their share of the money to finance attendance at their regional and state competitions.

The following students participated in the Drive 4 UR School:  Front row:  Madison Kornutiak, Kayla Bolduc, and Julie Alvarez.  Back row:  Alaina Lengner, Joe Clauss, Salina Tregaskis, Skyler Booths, Tim Shaffer, Catherine Tuman, Tim Lescinski, Matt Russo, Victoria Aughe, Jacob Karnick, and Zachary Curtis.  Theresa Lubash and Maria Masankay are local advisers.
