On Friday June 17th, staff and editors of the Grand Island High School Venture Yearbook presented the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Western New York a check for $5000 to be used for a child’s wish vacation.
Editors and staff of the yearbook worked together on selling everything from candy bars, chocolate, candles, paper and magnetic stars, to patrons for the yearbook. They spent time during and after school, as well as some Saturdays, at local malls raising funds for this worthwhile cause.
Christopher Simpson, yearbook advisor, says that the kids are truly one of a kind. “So many students participated in the effort and contributed that you can’t help but to be overwhelmed with their contributions. I am very proud of all of these young adults.”
