Character education
Shades Cahaba students learned about how they can help a 10-year-old girl named Emilie during a character education program.
As part of Shades Cahaba Elementary School’s character education program, the students and staff are partnering with Make-A-Wish Foundation to grant a wish for a 10-year-old girl named Emilie who has a kidney disorder.
Emilie lives in Huntsville, and her wish is to go to Walt Disney World. During the November character assembly, the school kicked off their campaign by introducing Make-A-Wish to the students and sharing their fundraising plan.
They began by holding a coin drive, and they will continue to hold fundraisers throughout the year.
