It is almost that time of year again, Wish Week! For those who are wondering what Wish Week is… it is a week of fun activities where EVHS raises money for Colorado Make-A-Wish. Each year, Eagle Valley sponsors a Wish Kid in our own Valley. This year we are helping to grant Jose’s Wish. Jose is 11 years old and has been diagnosed with Cancer. His favorite color is blue, he loves to play with Nerf guns, and his favorite food is Oreos. The best way to grant Jose’s wish is to attend some amazing events. So keep reading for your ultimate guide to this year’s Wish Week!
