Make A Wish Week!!

These next 2 weeks at school have been dedicated to help children who are sick with terminal diseases. Make a wish finds children who are ill with terminal diseases and find out what they would like to do before there time on this earth is over. Some wishes are very simple- wishes range from Kids who want a new car, a trip to Disney land, or even just more time with there family. This organization has granted so many wishes and being a part of it makes me smile just to know that I'm helping a child who doesn't know how much longer they will be here. Make a wish grants 173,810 wishes every 40 minutes. Student Council at the High School has planned SO many activities to help raise money for the child that was assigned to us this year. We have not found out who our Child is but I do know that it's going to be a good year! Today we had our kick off assembly and lunch dates were sold. People were auctioned off and the highest bidder gets to set a date up with that person and have lunch with them. One girl was "sold" for $300, and another boy was "sold" for $375. There is annoying music playing in the halls before and after school and in between passing periods until enough money is paid to shut them off. Tomorrow night there is a student vs. teacher basketball. There is a fashion show, A Mr. GR HS beauty pageant, A night at McDonald's where proceeds will go to Make a wish. Dodge ball tournament, Student and teacher torture, and class competitions. There is so much more going on. We are in a competition with Rock Springs to try and raise the most money. TODAY alone we raised $1375. I'm so happy to be a part of Student Council and to be able to be part of a school that is willing to help such a great organization! Our school is taking donations up to the 12th of February. Please come and participate in any of these activities- including the McDonald's Night. You're not only supporting a great organization but you're also Putting a smile of A child's face- lets all be part of granting this Child's wish and help them!
