The D’Evelyn Senior High Student Council is excited to kick off our 2023 Wish Week by introducing our school’s Wish Kid, Luka! Luka is a five year old boy who is battling cancer, and his wish is to go to Hawaii and learn to surf on a red surfboard. Luka loves swimming, playing in the snow, riding his bike, watching movies, and playing with Legos. His favorite colors are red, black, blue, and green, and his favorite foods are chicken nuggets, smoothies, ice cream, and corn. Luka also loves Marvel movies (especially Spiderman!) and Transformers. The entire D’Evelyn community is working to raise $15,000 to support Make-A-Wish Colorado during our annual Wish Week, which is February 6-10. This organization works to grant wishes for children like Luka that are battling critical illnesses. Through the incredible support of our community, last year the Senior High Student Council facilitated the raising of over $20,000 for Make-A-Wish Colorado. Throughout Wish Week, students will be able to purchase Wish Week shirts, packs (shirt and themed accessories), and raffle tickets in support of Luka and his wish. These items will be sold before school and during lunch every day of Wish Week, as well as before and after the home basketball games on February 4 and February 10. Shirts cost $15, packs cost $25, and raffle tickets cost $1 per ticket. Thanks to the hard work of our Student Council members and the generosity of our sponsors, the raffle is stocked with a host of prizes worth over $2,000 in total! Please make sure to send your student to school with cash so that they may purchase these items and contribute to the fundraising effort. Parents, teachers, and all community members are also highly encouraged to buy shirts, packs, and raffle tickets. If you would like to donate directly towards the campaign to raise $15,000 for Make-A-Wish Colorado, you can donate securely online through this link. Several teachers and staff members will be shaving or dyeing their hair as we reach certain monetary checkpoints, so make sure and donate enough money to see your child’s (or your own) favorite teacher act for this amazing cause! There will be a thermometer tracking our fundraising progress with a long list of teacher incentives which can be found at the entrance of the D’Evelyn library. In addition to our typical spirit week dress-up days, we will also be putting on school-wide 7th hour activities each day. To attend these events, your student should sign up for 7th hour as normal and go to that teacher’s classroom. All students will be dismissed via intercom around 2:00 to come to the auditorium for the activity. Throughout the week, we are also hosting food night fundraisers in which all money raised will be donated to Make-A-Wish Colorado; please be sure to mention D’Evelyn at checkout, or your purchase may not contribute to the fundraiser. We strongly encourage all D'Evelyn students, teachers, and parents to participate in all of the following activities! Wish week activities and events
