Wish Fulfilling 

Last week, West Collierville Middle helped a local child fulfill his wish to visit a sandy beach through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Students lined the perimeter of the campus on Aug. 26 while Luke and his family were escorted by the Collierville Police Department to receiving his wish of a beach trip. Luke, his brother and father have never been to the beach before. So, when it came time for Luke to decide what his wish would be — the answer was easy. “He is really looking forward to going fishing, having a dolphin encounter and playing the sand,” said Jen Hannah of Collierville Schools. Luke, 3, and his family are residents of Byhalia, Miss. The West Collierville Middle School Beta Club organized and raised $8,000 school-wide for this wish.
