RHS Drama Club Presents "Once on This Island"
On April 4 & 5, Revere High School's Drama Club performed 'Once on This Island.' 'Once on This Island' is a coming-of-age one-act stage musical with a book and lyrics by Lynn Ahrens and music by Stephen Flaherty.
It is based on the 1985 novel My Love, My Love; or, The Peasant Girl by Rosa Guy, a Caribbean-set retelling of Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale The Little Mermaid. It concerns a peasant girl in the French Antilles who falls in love with a rich boy and makes a deal with the gods to save his life.
Whelan School Raises Money for Pediatric Brain Cancer Research
Assistant Principals Daniel Gallucci and Nicole Cascetta, Kimberly and Abigail Bragdon and Principal Rachel Shanley.
Whelan School student Maya Bragdon’s battle with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, or DIPG, started when she was six years old.
During COVID remote learning in 2020, her mom noticed her balance was off, and Maya started complaining that her hand wouldn't stop shaking.
Her parents took her to Boston Children's Hospital, where the worst was confirmed: Maya had DIPG, an aggressive tumor of the brainstem. DPIG almost always affects the pediatric population, with approximately 200 to 300 new cases each year in the United States.
DIPG has no cure and only palliative treatments, and most patients survive less than one year. However, Maya battled for 13 months, enduring clinical trials and multiple sessions of radiation.
Sadly, Maya died from the disease on January 9, 2022. She was seven years old.
In April, Maya’s mom, Kimberly, and twin sister, Abigail, were at the Whelan School to kick off a fundraising effort at the school to help end DPIG.
“The Cure Starts Now is the family we needed, and they continue to help us honor Maya's memory through fundraising in her name for a cure for this awful disease,” said Kimberly.
