A Christmas Wish…...
Recently, The Huffington Post wrote about 9
year old Hailey who has been diagnosed with
Leukemia. Hailey had told them that she had
a goal to collect over 1000 Christmas Cards.
In the spirit of giving, Red Willow students and
staff sent letters and Christmas cards to help Hailey
reach her goal. We are very proud of our students and
staff for demonstrating the character value of
caring. To read more about Hailey go to:
