Wish Week - February 9 - February 15th
We have agreed to partner with Legend for this years Wish Week. Wish Week kick off is February 8th and goes until February 16th. Legend's goal is to spread the love of Wish Week to the feeder schools and show everyone what it is all about. In order to get the students excited about the week and all of the events they are selling T-shirts to the staff and students. Staff shirts are only $5 and they are encouraging you to buy one to get everyone excited and encourage the students to buy one as well. With the shirt, teachers will get a free Wish Week button. See the links below for more events occurring this week!
