What is Wish Night?
Wish Night is held in conjunction with Back-To-School Night. It’s an opportunity for parents to meet their child(ren)’s teacher(s) and learn about some of the exciting programs and projects their child(ren) will be involved in during the school year.
Each year, we ask our teachers to create a list of supplemental equipment, technology, books and supplies that they would love to have for your child(ren)’s classroom. Through Wish Night, you donate directly to your child(ren)’s classroom and without your donation your child(ren)’s classroom would not be able to afford these materials.
How is the money from Wish Night distributed within Arroyo Vista?
Wish Night donations are allocated to 3 areas at Arroyo Vista according to your wishes. You can designate how much of your donation should go to your child(ren)’s classroom, towards School-Wide programs or the Principal’s Discretionary Fund. School-Wide programs, such as the School Field Trip Fund, Speech and Occupational Therapy, Visual Arts, Drama & Music help enrich our children’s experience at AV. A list of the school-wide programs is detailed on the attached Wish Night Contribution form.
Can I contribute later in the year?
Yes. PTA accepts donations throughout the school year. However, if teachers receive their Wish Night contributions early in the year, it makes it easier for them to budget accordingly.
Your Wish Night contribution is 100% tax-deductible as a charitable contribution (Tax ID #95-6206522).
Many companies will match your contribution. Don’t forget to find out if yours is one of them.
