West Seneca Officials Pushing For Boys & Girls Club

Several school officials in West Seneca, including the West Seneca School Superintendent Dr. Lisa Krueger, have come together to make a push to create a Boys & Girls Club in Western New York. 

A founding committee has been created, and fundraising has started to help raise funds to create the club. The committee is currently working with the East Aurora Boys & Girls Club to build the program. As of right now, the club in West Seneca would be housed in the old Winchester Elementary School.

If you have any questions about the club or if you want to help with fundraising, you can contact Dr. Krueger at lkrueger@wscschools.org or (716) 677-3101.
