Dear Fellow Parents,
Superheroes never fight alone!
We invite your children to dress as
their favorite superhero on Thursday, February 11th.
One of our second grade heroes, Ayana
Banks, will be heading to NYC for continued medical treatments to combat
cancer. We would like to send her off with a little something extra. By
dressing the part, let’s remind Ayana that her heroes, her classmates and
friends at SCH, are here for her and always willing to share their super
powers.
A charitable foundation, Ayana’s
Amazing Grace, has been formed to accept donations in support of children
undergoing cancer treatments. The foundation is dedicated to Ayana's
strong desire to help find a cure for Neuroblastoma and other rare forms of
childhood cancer. Funds are used to improve the quality of life for
children and their families during treatment by providing the following:
offering financial assistance, educating families, supporting training and
research development to find a cure, promoting public awareness and advocacy,
reducing the serious side effects of cancer treatment, and providing treatments
that facilitate an overall increased quality of life.

Please contact your teachers, with

A message from "Super Hero
Mom", Ayana Banks:
Our family has been fighting for almost
2 years now. What I do know is that Kids can and do beat this!! Ayana is
self-motivated and always finds a way to smile as she fights. I will tell you
that everyone knows that she loves school (SCH) and her friends. She does not
hesitate to tell you that all she wants to do is to live and go to school. I am
overjoyed and thrilled with the awesome level of support for our journey. Ayana
loves the entire SCH community and TA. We see her spirit fill with joy as we
drive closer to the school each day. We are firm believers that Love heals.
Ayana's Super Hero Day warms our hearts. I know she will be so appreciative of
the sincere consideration as evidenced with her trade mark smile. This gesture
is the perfect "send off" as we prepare for scans and a suggested
treatment plan, to slay the dragon once and for all!
Nobody Fights Alone!!! We are forever
grateful for your unconditional love and support!
Yolanda Banks
