Mazie’s parade demonstrates Fossil’s passionate community
Mazie patiently awaits the parade as cars line up down the block.
All week long, students have donated in support of Mazie and her family in hopes of making her dream of visiting her favorite princess, Moana, in Hawaii. Make-A-Wish week was packed with events to raise money and show support, all organized by the Student Council.
On Friday, April 2, Fossil Ridge High School came together for Mazie in a car parade. Hundreds of students decorated their cars and waved to her, smiling on the sidelines. This breathtaking demonstration for Mazie and her family left her mother speechless. “I don’t have enough words, what you guys are doing is so incredible,” she expressed after watching the cars pass by.
From students to staff and family members, the community surpassed the school’s goal, donations totaling over ten thousand dollars. In such a devastating year, this show of commitment to make a stranger’s dream a reality is inspiring.
Your donation will support the student journalists of Fossil Ridge High School. Your contribution will allow us to purchase equipment and cover our annual website hosting costs.

This is such a cute story! I totally forgot about Make a wish week and it’s really cool to see it still happening during the pandemic. Love the photos to go along with it as well!
There are some edits to the lighting in the photos that would really make them stand out. Let me know if you want to hear some tips!
