Make-A-Wish

By: Emily Young and Elizabeth Korman, SHS Staff Writers
The Make-A-Wish assembly took place on Monday, October 6, at Springville High School. Make-A-Wish is a foundation that helps children ages 2-18 suffering from an illness or a life threatening disease (http://www.wish.org). The non-profit organization raises money to grant each child a special wish. Last year SHS raised over $8,000 dollars for 4-year-old Madeline’s wish. Madeline is from Pleasant Grove and is fighting Spinal Muscular Atrophy. With the money Springville High student body and staff earned, she was able to go to Disney World to see her hero, Princess Aurora. This year SHS hopes to grant three wishes. One of the wishes is that of twelve-year-old, Joseph. He is wishing to be able to go on a shopping spree and especially wants to buy a Wii.
