A message from Mrs Green (02/15/2021)

Cougar Nation,

I hope everyone enjoyed the long weekend. Please see message below regarding "Hero Squad" and this week's events:

Hero Squad:

We are Halfway Through!

We are now in the second week of participating in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Hero Squad program! We are so very appreciative of everyone’s support so far – thank you!

We are asking that everyone join our school squad and help raise awareness by collecting funds to benefit the mission of LLS: to find cures for blood cancers and to improve the quality of life for patients and their families. To join in our efforts, visit HeroSquad.org, find our school and select “Join Your Classroom Team” to set up your page. From there, share it via email, on social media, or have your student write a letter sharing why the Hero Squad is important to them!    

In order to help your student develop goal-setting, self-motivation and organizational skills they will earn fun Hero Gear at various fundraising levels. All students that register online will receive a glow in the dark Power Ring!  The glow of the Power Ring reminds us that we have to be brave for our patient friends when they are sick.

Our School Helps Heroes Like 7 Year Old Madelina!

Madelina was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in November of 2014 at 23 months of age.  She endured 4 rounds of chemotherapy at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh between November of 2014 and April of 2015.  Madelina also endured 5 bone marrow biopsies as well as countless blood and platelet transfusions.  As of July 2020, Madelina is considered 5 years cancer free and has moved to the Survivorship Clinic at Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh.  Madelina enjoys ballet and gymnastics.  She also loves to play with her dolls and spend time with her big sister Gianna.

Thank you families for your support!  Every hero needs a squad!
