2024 Wish Kid, Kiki, reaches for confetti while taking a picture with Student Council (StuCo) members Jade Spears 24, Ella Oates 25 and Hailey Anderson 26 after the Wish Week closing assembly in the gym March 8. During the assembly, Kiki and Choir sang
Part of Your World from the
Disney Movie The Little Mermaid before pieing math teacher Austin Bennett in the face. Kikis younger brother, Demitri, shaved his head in her honor while she sang in front of the student body. As StuCo stood with their posters, it was announced that the school raised $94,921.91, over $33,929.58 more than was raised the year prior. Its really cool to be a part of Rock Canyons most successful Wish Week as a senior, StuCo member Brady Hill 24 said. We took it to the next level this year; we raised around $94,000 and granted 12 wishes, including Kikis. I thought the closing assembly this year was hilarious when we switched the nine and four around to start, and surprised everyone by showing the true amount.
