This past year, Mrs. Sarrs died of cancer and all the children at HSES mourned the loss of their beloved teacher. In her honor, the children have been making bags for the patients at the nearby cancer center who are undergoing chemotherapy . The bags include a blanket, some magazines, puzzles, a journal and pen, hard candy, lip balm, lotion, hand sanitizer... This week was cancer week and all the children are all wearing pink for a "pink out". Emma's teacher, Mrs. Burke, was diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer just this week will undergo surgery. Our family has known the Burkes for years. We used to go to church with them. Emma and Ellie have each had Amanda Burke for their teacher twice in elementary school. She is such and amazing teacher and human being! Emma wanted to get her some slippers because she said her feet are always cold and wanted to make her a homemade card. The card is soooooo sweet. Emma thought of it all by herself!!!
