Aging With Power – April 11, 2017
The William S. Hart Education Foundation
“The WiSH Education Funding Focus for the 2017-17 academic year is Special Education/Alternative Education. While that does not preclude us from continuing to fund a variety of programs throughout the district, it does allow us to focus event funding on some of the most fragile students in our district, keeping with our vision to provide the tools for success for every student in addition to the students in our comprehensive schools.
WiSH has been very proud to continue funding the Hart Games, a track and field day for special education students from around the valley. Our Signal HOOPS event continues to benefit those games every year, so be sure to check back for the date and location in March 2017.
WiSH has also been proud to give significant funding to Sequoia School to allow those students access to next generation science standards and important PE and therapeutic support. If you don’t know about Sequoia, we urge you to visit and see what this amazing staff has to offer these incredible students.
WiSH hopes, with your help, to provide funding this semester to a variety of programs throughout the district, including Circle of Friends, which is located at many of the comprehensive schools around the district, pairing mainstream students with special education students to provide support and often resulting in lasting relationships.”
