The students at Lovell High School raised $6,411, which they plan to donate to the
Wyoming chapter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The state chapter makes about 30
wishes a year come true for children in Wyoming who have serious, and oftentimes
life-threatening, medical conditions. The effort was spearheaded by the school's student
council and involved a number of events including a barbecue dinner, a 50/50 raffle, a
silent auction of gift baskets, a bake sale and numerous student activities, including a
wishing well competition, selling stars and other fun contests on campus.
The students raised $952 from the barbecue dinner alone. The dinner, which was
held on Feb. 10, was hosted by the school's FFA Club. The club's advisor Wil Zollman
cooked the pulled pork for the event and students served the meal. Information about
the Make-A-Wish program was also presented.
According to student advisor Katie Hernandez, the state of Wyoming raises more
donations for Make-A-Wish per capita than any other state in the nation. She said some
schools have managed to raise as much as $80,000. She said the students at LES may
host other activities but plans have not been finalized yet.
Other on-campus clubs like the FCCLA and Skills USA also contributed to the ef-
fort. The students will be recognized for their efforts at the Wyoming Association of Stu-
dent Councils convention.
