This morning our family headed up to the school for a charity walk/run held for one of Olivia's classmates. Daniel was diagnosed with leukemia over the summer and since then, the whole school has been cheering him on! We've done surprise baskets, video tapes, special letters, t-shirts, mystery friends, scrapbooks and all kinds of fundraisers. He is not in class, and probably won't be this year, but there is a special stuffed monkey that sits in his chair at school and the kids get to take turns caring for "Bongo." Every day the class Skypes with him for Math and gets to talk to him about his day. It has been amazing to see these fourth graders learn about compassion and faith and true friendship. Already this has been a year that Olivia will never forget. GO DANIEL!!
