Who are we?
Blues Backers is the parent-teacher organization at Washburn Rural High School. Our purpose is to work with the administration at the school to support the students as well as show appreciation for the hard work of the teachers and staff. This is accomplished through volunteer time and financial support.
The Blues Backers:
- Host post-prom each year
- Fulfill funding requests from extra-curricular activities (sports, clubs, activities) as appropriate
- Host teacher/staff appreciation events
Get Involved/Volunteering
There are many ways to get involved and support the Blues Backers. By doing this, you are showing your student to give back to their school and community.
The first step is to join at walk-in registration, by contacting a board member, or anytime through our handy online form. One payment as low as $10 a year is all it takes to join. After that, there are many ways to be involved:
- Attend the board meetings
Second Wednesday of each month at 6:30 PM in the library - Volunteer your time
at the concession stand or help with post-prom - Donations of any kind
Prizes for post-prom, food for teacher appreciation and other events, etc.
Any and all contributions are appreciated and needed. Please join Blues Backers and help support your student(s) at Washburn Rural.
