Springville Junior and High school have been helping the Make a Wish Foundation this month. Springville Junior High helped out by selling paper stars with the students’ names on them and putting the stars in the hall at lunch. They sold them for a dollar each, and Springville High helped out by having a Family Fun Night on October 13th at SHS.

The Make a Wish Foundation is all about granting the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions to enrich the human experience with hope, strength, and joy.
The Springville High School family night was a big success, and a lot of families attended and had a great time. There were games, food, and the number one favorite, the Haunted Hall. All the money that was raised from the carnival is going to the Make a Wish Foundation.
“I believe that anything we can do to help a sick child is a wonderful thing. I believe that if we can make one wish come true, then they can have the optimism to fight any illness and believe they can survive it and that another wish might come true,” Mrs. Kathryn Crandall, a teacher at Springville Junior High, shared her personal feelings about the Make a Wish Foundation. Mrs. Crandall is one of those who helped with the Family Fun Night, along with SJHS students Ashli Averett and Cami Sumsion.
Thank you, Springville High and Springville Junior High for making a wish happen!
