WISH A Whole Scholar
Approach to Education

We have many folks working together to ensure a safe return to our campuses next month. The Return to School Committee comprised of administrators, teachers, parents, paraprofessionals, office and facilities staff, and our human resources staff are meeting weekly to develop ideas and refine plans based on new information and a commitment to safely return to campus for the greatest amount of time possible.

WISH is excited to launch our summer of entertainment and enrichment programs. From musical performances, cooking and art classes, comedy nights to rich discussions on a variety of topics, we look forward to bringing all communities together in exciting ways. These programs are also fundraising initiatives to support our educators who are being severely impacted by drastic state and local budget cuts. Every dollar raised goes directly to maximize every scholar’s learning potential. Please support WISH RIGHT NOW.

WISH's amazing TK-8 school counselor, Ms. Trisha, has launched her new website for students, families, staff and teachers. She is sharing activities, videos, webinars, and even resources for virtual summer camps! Ms. Trisha's School Counseling Virtual Office will be updated regularly, so be sure to check back for the latest and greatest information.

WISH is excited to announce the opening of our first-ever virtual art gallery. There are so many beautiful pieces to cherish. Please join us on June 5th, at 4pm for our very special Virtual Volunteer Celebration Assembly.

Please read a note from Executive Director Dr. Shawna Draxton regarding our commitment to social justice through inclusion and diversity, as well as new resources for the community from the Diversity & Inclusion Committee. We will continue to develop meaningful ways to use our voices and resources to fight injustice.
