WPE’s “Night at the Art & Wax Museum”

A Fundraiser for The Zoe Foundation

April 13th 6:30-7:30PM

Come join us for an amazing evening of student presentations of historical figures and artwork positioned throughout Wattles Park Elementary. 

4th grade students will be presenting their research on historical people in a wax museum format.  Students of all grades will have artwork displayed throughout the building. Donations will be accepted to walk through the exhibits that will go to help support The Zoe Foundation that provides art supplies to cancer patients while they are receiving treatment.

The Zoe Foundation was started by a former Wattles Park Elementary student, Kim Hammonds(Daniels), who lost her 2nd battle to breast cancer in 2022.  Kim found tremendous therapy in creating art during her lengthy stays in the hospital receiving treatment. The Zoe Foundation is named after her only daughter who, along with her father, Rod, have continued to carry on the mission of the foundation of providing art therapy opportunities for cancer patients across the country.  All funds collected at this fundraiser will go directly to the foundation to help continue their work.

Kim Hammonds graduated from Harper Creek in 1985 and went on to hold senior leadership positions at many fortune 500 companies including Ford, Boeing, Dell, and Deutsche Bank in London.  She recently served on the board of directors for several companies including, Zoom Video Communications Inc., Box Inc., Cloudera Inc., and Red Hat Inc.
