Chores Help Make Wishes a Reality

When it came time to choose a service project, third graders chose the organization which granted one of their classmates his wish last summer. The Make-A-Wish Foundation makes it possible for children with serious illnesses to see their wildest dreams come true. For Maxwell Gaddy, his was to visit the White House and become the president for a day. While one day may not have been long enough to affect the kinds of changes Maxwell surely envisioned, he did get to meet the president! The third grade children are doing odd jobs around their homes to raise money so that other kids might have similar amazing experiences of their own.
