William S. Hart Education Foundation

WISH is a great organization and really provides a valuable service to the community. We have been especially impressed with their free college planning programs they provide to the community.

Love being a part of such a worthwhile charity and seeing the impact first hand visiting the wellness centers WiSH has funded in each of the schools.

The events I’ve attended have been great; the cause is great; the people I’ve met have been great. Pretty much 3 for 3.

The WiSH Education Foundation is an invaluable asset to the William S. Hart Union High School District, tirelessly working to bridge the gap in state education funding and support over 21,000 students from grades 7 to 12. With a commendable focus on STEAM and student wellness, WiSH ensures all students, regardless of their challenges or interests, have the necessary tools for success in the classroom. Their community-driven approach benefits everyone, enhancing the quality of education and schools in the neighborhoods. One standout initiative is their free college overview webinar that has helped thousands of families navigate the complexities of college admissions with greater confidence and success. By providing expert insights from industry professionals, WiSH offers peace of mind and practical guidance to families, underscoring their commitment to educational excellence and student achievement.

Wish foundation is a cornerstone of the community providing great benefits to many who are under-served. The events and their goals are meaningful. And the feedback the group receives from the recipients confirms the level of appreciation.

The Wish Foundation does amazing things for kids within our community. I can't thank them enough and I hope that everyone who can make a donation will make a donation to this fantastic organization that truly makes a positive difference on a daily basis for so many young people.

WiSH support has support our Wellness Center throughout the District by providng our meditation initiatives across all campuses. We have been grateful in using the supplies and equipment needed to provide services via the Wellness Center. We cannot provide these services without the generousity and committment in connecting our department with essential items for our groups, events, and activities.

WISH gives back to our community so much. They are very supportive of mental health and their generous donations to our schools are wonderful. They put on so many informational programs for our community and we are grateful for that. WISH is a phenomenal organization.

The WiSH Foundation has consistently demonstrated unwavering support for the Hart District schools and teachers. Their dedication to enhancing the educational experience in our community is truly commendable. Over the years, they have played a vital role in providing resources and opportunities that have positively impacted our local schools. Their commitment to the betterment of education is invaluable, and their contributions are greatly appreciated. WiSH Foundation's continued support is a testament to their genuine commitment to our students and the community as a whole.

Boston Scientific has sponsored the Wish Education Foundation for over a decade in our effort to support STEM education in our community. Boston Scientific is a Corporate Partner in sponsorship of the WiSH Education Foundation Wednesday Webinars which brings a year-round series of webinars to benefit college-bound students and families. Boston Scientific is a mentor in the school district through the Pathway to our Future program, and a home for many students through our internship program.

WISH does so much for the students of the Hart district. If there is a need to be filled - WISH does everything they can to get it done!

Great community events that benefit all of our local public school students in 7-12. Huge impact for student wellness, thank you so much for all you do!

I am a founding board member for the WiSH Education Foundation, and continue to be inspired and motivated to serve in that capacity due to the relevant mission of the organization, and the students and families the organization serves. Education is a fundamental building block for our community, and I am honored to continue serving the WiSH Education Foundation in any way that I can.

I have enjoyed work with Maria & her crew these last to events.
They are very organized, helpful and a joy to be around.
Both events were ran very efficiently.

This organization does so much for the youth in our community!!!

This an important charity in our community. It serves all our local high school students. WISH is very dynamic and is in close contact with the school and is at the ready to help when the schools needs change.

The WiSH Education Foundation has been our nonprofit partner for a few years now. Since then; they have been nothing short of tremendous. We have hosted many events at our dealership in support of the foundation and they have been respectful, on time, communicative and a joy to work with.

Everyone at WiSH does an amazing job giving back to our local schools. We have personally gone on tours of schools with them and have seen their impact. The Wellness Rooms they funded, the music programs they assist in, the STEM that fuels young minds, and the difibulators they helped with saved a child’s life already.

At Hello Auto, we are honored and grateful to be able to partner with such an amazing foundation. They are a joy to work with and support. The individuals in the foundation such as Amy Daniels, are some of the best humans we have ever met. They truly care about the children and the schools in our local community. We can not wait to continue to partner with them for years to come.

As a college professor, I have witnessed firsthand how access to educational tools, technology, and resources can impact student success; those with access are not only better prepared for college curriculum, they are more confident, more inquisitive, and more committed to achieving their goals.

This is why I strongly believe in the mission of the WiSH Education Foundation. By providing laptops, desks, books and other resources to the socioeconomically vulnerable students in our area, they are making an immeasurable difference in the future of our community.

The WISH Foundation is an asset for the Santa Clarita Valley and its students. Every event has a special flaire. Students are reached out to in authentic ways. Counseling, fun-filled activities, lounges for "hanging"- it's all there for the future leaders of our valley.
THANKS WISH Team!

Love how they support the kids in our own community!

I have been a volunteer for the Wish Education Foundation on several occasions. I am so very proud of this organization, and have seen up close and personal the positive effect it has on the students in the William S. Hart school district. They are able to bring the needs of students to the forefront, and I am so impressed by what they have been able to give back to this population.

WiSH has been an incredible influence in the Santa Clarita Valley and have provided opportunities for countless students to have a better education. From supporting student programs to upgrading a computer lab, there is no doubt that WiSH prioritizes the educational experience of all students in the district.

I've been volunteering for WiSH for years. The value that they give to the community and to the local schools has been incredible. I am always on the lookout for their next event!

This non-profit is not only a central instution in their home school districts, they are also a pleasure to work with as a volunteer. Their opportunities to see first-hand the direct effects on the experience of the thousands of students they service makes them stand out.

The WiSH Education Foundation supports students and important programs that would not otherwise be funded. Exec Director Amy Daniels is the most dedicated non-profit leader I know.

WISH is a valuable organization that provides education support to the William S. Hart School district - covering student programs that are not covered by taxes. It's Board members and volunteers are actively involved and living in the Santa Clarita community. As a past Board Member and volunteer, I witnessed firsthand the positive impact WISH has on students and teachers. I was proud to wear my Board member badge at events and hear "Thank You!" for all our hard work in focusing donations to help develop our future generation.

WISH is considered one of the top non-profits in Santa Clarita - not only for the funding focus on students and teachers but for the variety of fundraising events. In addition, WISH actively partners with local businesses to tap funding dollars and volunteers from a diverse base. The passion for developing kids futures is a driving force not only from the Foundation's members but also the community.

The webinar on The Common Application process was extremely well run, helpful and informative, thank you!

The WiSH Education Foundation has done amazing things for our community. Amy Daniels works endlessly to raise money to help each and every student in the Hart District.

I'm honored to continue to contribute my time and efforts to help the WiSH Education Foundation. It's an amazing organization.

Truly makes a difference for students, teachers and schools in the Hart District.

WiSH has made an undeniable difference in our local junior and high schools! The new Wellness rooms have been so appreciated! These rooms offer the students a place of relief and resources every day - not to mention the opportunity to really consider and talk thru their own mental health status as they deal with all the new rollercoaster obstacles teens are facing the last few years.
Despite the Covid restrictions, nothing slowed WiSH down after having to cancel our planned 2020-2021 fundraisers. The WiSH board created new and well-attended safe/virtual/outdoor fundraising opportunities to ensure our donations/income fulfill the needs of our 22,000 students.
I am a proud and active board member of the William S Hart Education Foundation.

I am extremely proud to be a part of this amazing organization. Wish supports twenty three thousand students in William S. Hart school district. Thank you Wish for the tremendous amount of difference you make in the Santa Clarita valley community. I’m looking forward to watching Wish grow bigger and better for the future.

My family has lived in Valencia since 1993, 27 years! My children, now adults, spent the entirety of their school years within the public school system. We feel blessed to have such a passionate, committed foundation focused on filling in the gaps for our students, addressing issues which are not effectively funded or just not seen by others.
One unique provision, ground-breaking in some ways, was WiSh's creation of a Wellness Center on the Saugus High School campus following the tragic school shooting there. This provided a safe space for students to process the tragedy, helping them move forward through their grief and anxiety, or speak with a counselor.
More recently, WISH has addressed the very real issues presented by the COVID-19 virus and distance learning. It can be easy, given our beautiful valley, to overlook the many who don't have at home learning devices. WISH provided nearly 4,000 Chromebooks to students throughout the district. Additionally, WiSH arranged college application webinars, compensating for the inability to gather at the auditoriums and other spaces traditionally utilized.
WiSH's fund raising events are creative and true boons to the community, as well. From Virtual Talent Shows to accommodate the pandemic restrictions, to rooftop events spotlighting local restaurants and drink purveyors, you know you are in for a good time, and the funds will go towards STEM programs, literacy and writing programs, music and arts, to name but a few.
In another unusual program, WiSH provided the students of one local high school the caps and gowns for their commemorative photos and ceremony. This is the type of kindness that goes beyond just taking care of the material. It speaks to taking care of the whole person, the spirit; it builds self esteem and shows our vulnerable youth that they are seen and valued.
I am proud to have WiSH as a vital part of our community!

This non-profit helps support such and array of areas that are not funded or underfunded by the state. And important focus and topic of concentration this past year has been the mental health our our student population. Not only did one of our schools encounter a difficult scenario on campus last year, but teen mental health struggles have seen a rise over the last ten years with the evolution of social media. This non profit has helped establish several wellness centers through out the William S Hart District to provide a safe place for students to go, but supported, counseled and more.

The most beautiful aspect of this non-profit is the fact that it has the ability to fund multi-pronged areas such as: mental health, stem, the arts, extra curricular activities, sports and much more.

As a founding board member for the WiSH Education Foundation, I am exceedingly proud of the work our organization has done, and continued to do, on behalf of the students, families and educators of the William S. Hart Union High School District. I joined the organization as a board member, even before my own children were in the Hart district, because I admired, and continued to admire, the members of our education community in the Santa Clarita Valley. The financial and emotional assistance provided by the WiSH Education Foundation to the students and families of our district is the inspiration and motivation to stay passionately involved as a board member for our organization. My fellow board members and their contributions are another amazing source of inspiration.

As a former member of the school district that this foundation supports, and as a parent of a future student of that very same district, I have a sincere vested interest in the quality of the education that is provided to the students. The WiSH foundation provides resources and necessities to the children who need it most in our area. They even take it one step further and provide resources for entire schools to benefit from, enabling a higher quality learning experience for all. This foundation is unmatched and is a pillar of education-based nonprofits.

WiSH has made an extraordinary difference in the Santa Clarita Valley. Post COVID-19 school closures, WiSH reacted immediately and helped distribute over 9,000 chrome books for students' distance learning. After the Saugus High School shooting, WiSH reacted immediately to fund wellness centers and resources district wide. Both programs became vital due to emergency situations and continue moving forward.

The WiSH Education Foundation does so much for the community...a dedicated organization working together to raise funds to support much needed programs in schools that government programs don't address...funding has provided microscopes for Science classes, graphing calculators for Math; library books & musical instruments, concussion software for sports, school trauma kits and defibrillators, and a host of other vital materials to help students. They have also provided 1000's of Chromebooks for students to be able to participate in Distance Learning and to have access to technology & communication that they may not have.

WiSH spearheaded the buildout of 'wellness centers' set up in light of the 2019 tragedy at Saugus High School. These centers have been actively supported by WiSH and the community to provide a 'safe place' for students to decompress, talk, get support, etc., and are located on many Hart District Junior & High School campuses.

The dedication to the success of Hart School District students is 100%. Where the need is, WiSH fills it.

WiSH Education Foundation is the best!! They help so many kids in our district. What would we do without them!

We have worked with the WiSH foundation for years!
This nonprofit is the definition of community! WiSH has helped all our local highschools and jr highs in the Santa Clarita Valley!
When we opened one of our locations all money raised went to provide new books for all libraries in the Hart district!
Any daniels does a terrific job managing relationships and thinking of creative ways to fundraise money for our schools! She’s truly a pleasure to work with!

As a teacher in a school with a higher level of socially economically challenged students, it is wonderful to have an organization whose sole purpose is to help enrich and enhance our students' academic experiences. The work of WiSH Foundation is vital, responsive, and well-received by staff and students. They help to keep our dreams alive.

WiSH is changing the lives of housings or kids every day in the district. Their events are an absolute joy, and they continually provide our children a chance for a better tomorrow! I am honored to be a part of what they do! Thank you WiSH!!
