As I look out the window and think about what to write today my mind goes to our Stonecrest student Bridget. Bridget is a Senior Kindergarten student in Madam Wilson's afternoon class; sadly she is undergoing a huge challenge in her young life as she battles Wilms' tumour and its spread to her lymph nodes and lungs. As you may have already heard she underwent surgery to remove the tumour on Thursday and is in recovery under the great care of the doctors and nurses at CHEO. Bridget is a lovely little girl with a ton of spirit! She is the type of child who is on the go, wears a smile all of the time, is helpful, loving, and beautiful on the inside and out. I know she will give it her all to battle and get better as she continues with her treatments.
Our Summer Send Off BBQ was a great success in more ways than one. The feeling of community and family was exemplified on Thursday night as many donations came in for Bridget and her family during this difficult time. If you would like to make a donation (food items, gas cards, etc) and/or spread the word about Bridget, please see the attached flyer for more information or, alternatively, you can make a donation (every little bit helps) online at:
Let's keep Bridget and her family in our thoughts.
