Help Meet Everyday Needs

Sometimes the most helpful support is practical. Our Wish List includes items that directly support children, classrooms, and daily programming.

Spread a Little Kindness

Wish You Well is a community practice rooted in the Conscious Discipline approach. It’s one way our School Family (kids, families, staff, volunteers, and visitors) supports one another through care, presence, and positive intention.

How it Works

Choose a ribbon color that reflects the kind of support you’d like (guidance, strength, healing, gratitude, or encouragement).
Tie it to the Wish You Well sign, located just to the right of the entry gate in the parking lot.
Our school family sends well wishes as they pass by and see the ribbons.
