WISH Forward

WISHForward is a separate 501(c)(3) in support of WISH Charter.
Help WISH Charter schools secure a permanent campus large enough for all of our students!

 

In just over a decade, WISH has accomplished so much. We’ve grown from 136 TK-3rd grade students and ten educators to more than 1,100 TK-12th grade students with over 100 educators, a wide array of specialty classes, clubs, and competitive athletic teams. We’ve transformed from an aspiration grounded in excellence and inclusion to a destination for visiting educators from 26 states and 12 countries. With support from friends like you, WISH is internationally recognized as an innovator in a whole scholar approach to education grounded in excellence for all.
 
With a waiting list of more than 1,300 students who passionately want to join the WISH family, we know we have more work to do. What will our next decade hold? This is the focus of WISHForward, helping to make the next decade as magical and productive as the last for all pupils. And, for that, we need your support to serve students and families within WISH’s atmosphere of caring and belonging.
 
Some key areas of focus include one permanent campus for all of WISH TK-12, continued development of our thriving sports program, even more opportunities for engagement in the dynamic performing arts program, further development of our international center to share our model of excellence for all, among others. These
require dedication and efforts in fundraising beyond our highly engaged community. In order to continue serving all children with high-quality education in state-of-the-art facilities for the next 10 years and beyond, WISHForward is actively pursuing its fundraising efforts including:

Our inaugural gala took place on March 7th, 2020 just one week before things started to
shut down as a result of COVID-19. We were so fortunate to have been able to spend
time with our community and corporate and foundation sponsors and we look forward to
sharing another special evening with our community in 2024. 
 
Our annual golf tournament is a great outdoor event with a number of corporate friends
participating as well as community members. 
 
If you're not familiar with a party book, it offers parents/caregivers, students, and families the opportunity to connect and socialize with one another through a variety of customized events and activities hosted by WISH families and friends. Originally events were kept in a bound book that parents would flip through and sign-up for, but it has now evolved to its own dedicated online portal. The events are hosted by WISH families and 100% of the proceeds go directly to the school via WISHForward Educational Foundation. The money you spend to produce a party is tax-deductible and WISHForward will supply a donation acknowledgement.
 
Please complete this party book google form if you would like to host a party. Some theme ideas include:
