The WiSH Education Foundation Cocktails on the Roof fundraiser will be held Friday, Sept. 6, 7-10 p.m. to benefit student programs in the William S. Hart Union School District.

Established in 2011, WiSH “bridges the gap” in state funding for education and answers the call of teachers
and administrators for program resources and supplies that enrich the educational experience of more than 21,000 Hart District students in Santa Clarita Valley junior high and high schools.

Programs in the Hart District supported by WiSH:

Programs to support the 30% of Hart District students who are identified as socioeconomically disadvantaged with assistance for homeless and displaced students.

WiSH established/funded wellness centers on school campuses district-wide and has funded all annual maintenance of renewables and resources.

WiSH also supports special education, literacy, music, the arts, student health and safety programs and more.

WiSH’s funding focus is STEAM with an emphasis on student wellness and other district needs providing funding where tax dollars fall short.

WiSH fundraisers need the support of the SCV community to continue its work supporting students and teachers in the Hart District.
