WISH WEEK!!

04/26/23, 10:32 AM

Good Morning, CV Families! 

It’s time to start getting excited about WISH WEEK 2023!! Wish Week 2023 will be the first week of May from May 1-5 (NEXT WEEK!). We are partnering once again with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to make this year even bigger and better than last year, and there is a role that ALL of you can play, so hopefully you all can start to get excited!

First off, we will be holding a week-long raffle throughout this week, and we need some donated items! Last year we held a silent auction that ended up being pretty incredible, and we had a wide variety of items donated. Everything from ski passes to hand made jewelry to a PS5 was auctioned off, and we raised over $500 for Hajlie’s wish through auction items. If you have anything you would like to donate, please let me know and we can include that in our auction. It really can be anything, too, no matter how big or small. (in fact multiple people mentioned last year that some smaller/cheaper items would be better to get more students involved!)

Here is a preview of the week’s events:

·       Monday, May 1:
