2024 Buy-in Parties
Donate to Academics & Build Our Community
What is a Buy-In Party? Parties donated and hosted by community members to fundraise and build community. These parties occur all year long. Find an event and date that works for you! Ticket sales are donations to the WHS Foundation. Attending a Buy-In Party is fun, builds our school community, and supports local education at Woodside High School.

Class of 2025 Parents-Only Graduation Party
Celebrate the end of your child's high school experience by regressing hard into your just post-high school self. Wear your favorite college T-shirt, drag out those flannel pajama pants you wore everywhere, rock your old sports jersey (respect if it fits!), or dig out that dress you thought was "da bomb" for wild nights out. We'll try to remember how to play some classic games like Beer Pong, darts, and maybe add some new ones to the mix. Elevated, college-reminiscent food will be served alongside beer and Jell-O shots.
