Omya reacts to the news that she is going to Disney World. Omya, whose wish was granted on Friday, poses with her family and St. George’s students after finding out she was going to Disney World. St. George’s granted their 12th wish on Friday, March 18.

On Friday, March 18, the St. George’s Make-a-Wish club granted their 12th wish for Omya, a young girl who loves Disney and the colors pink and green. Students formed a pathway in the Slatery Gym and wore pink and green shirts to celebrate Omya, and they made signs in advisory earlier in the week with Disney-related phrases.

Omya came to St. George’s on Friday and took a school of the tour from the perspective of a student interested in the school. However, the tour was actually a cover for Omya’s wish, and the last stop was the Slatery Gym.

When Omya arrived, she walked through the pathway and was greeted by all middle and upper school students cheering for her. Once she made it to the end, senior William McBride announced that she was going to Disney World and would be leaving on Saturday.

The wish was made possible with the sale of Chick-Fil-A chicken biscuits and Parker’s Water Ice throughout the year.
