The Believe Campaign is an opportunity for students to explore giving through writing.  Each year, Macy's department store raises money for the Make-A-Wish foundation.  The Make- A- Wish foundation is an organization that grants wishes to children who are critically ill.  For every letter written, Macy's donates $1. This year, Hawks Nest students wrote 200 letters - that's $200.  Thank you for helping to make wishes of critically ill children come true!
