Make-A-Wish, A Week and a Half

By: Jaylee Holland

PCHS DECA planned a week and a half of fundraising. The Make-A-Wish Foundation is a non-profit organization that grants life-changing wishes to children facing critical illnesses. Founded in 1980, the organization has granted millions of wishes worldwide, each unique and personalized to the child’s dreams and desires.
On Wednesday, March 13, 2025, the Make-A-Wish spirit week began during the Make-A-Wish Kick-Off assembly at Pueblo County High School. This spirit week will include: superhero day, NFL Day, Lucky Green Day, Y2K Day, and Make-A-Wish Shirt Day. 
During this week, other activities and fundraising take place. Friday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday restaurants will donate some of their profit to this year's Make-A-Wish Kid. Along with in-school activities to make the week more exciting!
Spirit weeks are a great way to create inclusivity and teamwork. It also encourages people to participate regardless of background or personality. Balancing fun and dressing for an overall valuable cause.
