SMOKY HILL HIGH SCHOOL WISH WEEK FIRE & ICE January 26 - 30, 2026
Smoky Hill Student Government will be sponsoring Wish Week from January 26 - 30, 2026. We have a large number of events taking place to raise money for Make-A-Wish Colorado and celebrate our 2026 Wish Kid - Genevieve!
Throughout Wish Week, Smoky Hill will be working with Make-A-Wish of Colorado to celebrate the wish of 14-year-old, Genevieve. Genevieve is a freshman at Smoky Hill and is battling a nervous system disorder. She is the second current Smoky Hill student to be our Wish Kid. Genevieve’s sister, Savannah, is a Senior at Smoky Hill and is a member of the marching band.
Genevieve’s wish is to have a hot tub. She and her family will be in attendance and celebrated at our Wish Week Pep Assembly on Friday, January 29.
