Family in Need:
Donations: We are still accepting donations for the LaVan Family until Wednesday, December 22nd. Please consider donating to this family. Checks can be made out to GM Schools and turned in at the office. Thanks to those who already donated.
Recipient Information: In March of 2021, while at the doctor for flu like symptoms, Joseph, then a 1st grader, received a life changing diagnosis. Joseph was diagnosed with a Wilms Tumor. Typically, this cancer is found in children under the age of nine, and effects the kidneys. This diagnosis started a long journey of appointments, scans, tests, and treatments. Joseph underwent surgery this past summer to remove the tumor and kidney. Joseph has continued to receive chemotherapy and radiation treatments before and after surgery and is patiently waiting for his next CT scan to see how he has responded to the treatment! Joseph continues to be in high spirits and putting up a good fight. He’s missing his 2nd grade friends and can’t wait to be back with them!
