SGPHS Student Council gives send-off party
Monday evening the South Grand Prairie Student Council held a gala Disney World send-off party for 5-year-old Kaitlyn Kalvig for her up coming trip sponsored by the Student Council.
The Student Council learned of Kaitlyn’s desire to visit the world famous theme park through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Kaitlyn suffers from a life threatening heart condition.
In December the Student Council hosted a charity basketball game billed as “Make a Swish for Make-A-Wish” to raise money for the trip. The game which pitted faculty members against students brought in more than the necessary $6,000.
Student Council sponsor Debbie Beaudin said the students planned and prepared Monday’s send-off party that treated Kaitlyn with a limousine ride to South Grand Prairie High school where she was greeted by heralding trumpets and students dressed as Disney characters. Kaitlyn got to eat pizza and cake and received a tub of gifts. Cosmetology students gave Kaitlyn a complete make-over.
Kaitlyn embarks upon her dream trip Thursday.
