Dear WISH Families, Friends, and Community Supporters,

WISH Charter School continues to grow and thrive in the Westchester area of Los Angeles, expanding to serve over 1,100 students from TK to 12th Grade, with an innovative, rigorous curriculum that focuses on the whole-child approach to education, as well as meaningful and engaging learning experiences.

WISH’s core-value is a commitment to excellence through both our Whole Scholar Approach to Education and a focus on Social Justice through Inclusivity, which has had incredible outcomes for our children and families. As a public school operating on a modest budget, our community partnerships are what have allowed us to implement so many of our unique approaches, providing every child with a high-quality, research-based, personalized education including STEM, visual & performing arts, college-credit classes, field trips and so much more.

As such, WISH has been recognized for its exemplary educational practices, one of only six schools across the country chosen to serve as a SWIFT Knowledge Development site by the University of Kansas. Our university partnership as a Professional Development School for Loyola Marymount University’s School of Education has provided countless opportunities and development for WISH pupils and staff. We have also become a global leader in education, welcoming visitors from countries like Japan, Sweden, Denmark, Israel, and Northern Ireland, eager to learn more about our successful teaching strategies.

And it’s located right here, in our community! Most of our students live in and near the 90045 zip code, and we have developed strong relationships with Loyola Marymount University and our neighbors. WISH is committed to maintaining small class sizes and hands-on learning experiences for our students but we need your help!

This year, we are planning our WISH Spring Auction for March 19, 2022, which will kick-off with a live auction at our Gala event, and will continue online throughout the week, allowing us to reach out to a broader audience beyond our immediate school community, and providing an even greater ability to advertise the generous donations provided by our sponsors. In 2020, we were able to raise over $59,000 for the school, thanks to the support of our families and the local community.

Any donation that you can provide toward the WISH Spring Auction is greatly appreciated, including a gift certificate, merchandise, service, or sponsorship. Participation not only helps to build WISH Charter but is also a fantastic way to promote your business in the community, reaching more than 1,000 families within our school. Donors will be listed in our auction program and the WISH website.

WISH is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization; contributions are tax deductible.* Donations are kindly requested by March 7th to provide adequate time for listing in the auction catalog and on the website.
