Make-A-Wish

In the run-up to the holiday season, our school is once again participating in the Make-A-Wish letter writing program through Macy's (learn more here).  For every letter our students write, Macy's will donate $1 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which helps grant wishes for children diagnosed with life-threatening diseases.  One example of a kid helped by Make-A-Wish is Miles, who dreamed of being "Batman."  The foundation, along with the city of San Francisco, helped make his wish come true!

I am pleased to say that our class has jumped into the spirit of things, and in the past 2 weeks, have written over 1600 letters!  That is $1600 towards making the wish of a kid like Miles come true!  I'm so proud of our 6th graders, and look forward to seeing how many letter they write before the December 9th deadline.
