Wish Week - Coming to AA March 9-13, Meet our Wish Kid and see what is planned for this wonderful week.

Wish Week Presentation

March 9–13 will be Wish Week, a special week dedicated to supporting our school ambassador, Everleigh. Throughout the week, students will learn about her story while participating in meaningful, community-building activities that raise funds and awareness.

Students may take part in themed dress-up days by donating $1 per day or $5 for the entire week. All proceeds will contribute to classroom Change Wars, with friendly competition across grade bands (K–2, 3–5, and 6–8). The highest-earning classroom in each group will win an extra dress-of-choice day.

Daily Themes

  • Monday – Pink Out: Pink top with uniform bottoms

  • Tuesday – Kindness Rocks: Favorite music shirt with uniform bottoms

  • Wednesday – Kindness is Magical: Favorite Disney top with uniform bottoms

  • Thursday – Blizzards and Beaches: Beach or winter-themed top with uniform bottoms

  • Friday – Once Upon a Dream: Pajamas to celebrate Everleigh’s hopes and dreams

New This Year: Tattoo Takeover

Monday through Thursday of Wish Week, a temporary tattoo store will be open during morning carpool. Students may purchase tattoos for $1 each and place them in a teacher-labeled envelope. On Thursday afternoon, teachers will receive their envelopes — and on Friday, teachers will come to school wearing all of their temporary tattoos.

Wish Week is a meaningful opportunity for our school community to come together in support of Everleigh. We look forward to a week filled with spirit, generosity, and celebration.
