WST Criminal Justice class participated in the annual "Shop with a Cop" this past weekend. Each child received $200 to buy whatever they wanted for Christmas! Several of the children used their money not to buy gifts for themselves but for their friends and families. It was a beautiful event! #WSTGIVES!
