A total of $51,270 was raised during this year’s Make-A-Wish campaign at Concord Junior High – the most money ever raised during the biennial campaign!
CJHS has been raising funds to grant wishes biennially since 1995.
Proceeds from this year’s fundraiser will benefit two local students who were identified as recipients through the Make-A-Wish Foundation – Jack, 11, and Reed, 14. Jack’s wish is to travel to California where he would like to visit an LA car experience to see cars of all types and visit Randy’s Donuts. Reed’s wish is to be a train engineer, and specifically to sound the train horn.
The 2022 contributions bring the total raised to $481,514.10.
Outstanding work to all involved! #ConcordPride

Concord Junior High students and staff gathered Friday morning to celebrate as the 2022 Make A Wish fundraising efforts kicked off with a theme appropriate for the return of this much-anticipated event -- “Concord’s Back!”
To date, Concord has donated more than $430,000 to the Make A Wish Foundation and granted wishes to dozens of local children who have life-threatening medical conditions.
“Since 1995, Concord Junior High School has been granting wishes through fundraisers every other year (excluding 2021). No other junior high school -- or school in general -- in the nation has raised as much money or granted as many wishes as we have,” said Heather Brunswick, Concord Junior High teacher and one of three event organizers. “Our goal is to continue this tradition in an effort to grant wishes of local children this year.”
Today is National Read Across America Day!
At Concord, we believe that literacy skills shape the future of our students. In addition, literacy is the foundation to lifelong learning that will be essential to all students as they succeed in a fast-changing world.
Parents, if you're looking for ways encourage your child to pick up a book, give "flashlight reading" a try. Turn off the lights and light up the page with a flashlight as you read together. #ConcordReadsTogether
