Dear Parents and Guardians,
On Thursday morning, May 8th 2025 our school will be a having a school wide assembly to build awareness and support to Kids and their families who are battling cancer.
Our school, Simons Valley Elementary, is currently organizing a fundraiser to support Helping Families Handle Cancer, a program that has made a profound impact on several of our families. We have five students who are bravely battling or have bravely battled different forms of cancer, and we want to show our support by contributing to this important cause. The Helping Families Handle Cancer program provides crucial assistance such as covering costs for parking, housing, medical expenses, and meals for families who are spending extended periods at the hospital during their child's treatment.
How can you support:
· Have your child wear YELLOW on Thursday, May 8th
· Donate money to the Fundraiser through your classroom teacher: Helping Families Handle Cancer and have a chance to win some cool prizes
On Thursday our school will come together to make 6 teams made up of different grades. The team that brings in the most amount of donation money will win a pizza party, donated by Simons Valley School Council.
