In January of this year, Third Grader Khloe Ledezma was diagnosed with a Pineoblastoma brain tumor. After undergoing several procedures and a lengthy hospital stay, Khloe is now undergoing radiation and chemotherapy, while staying with her mother at a Ronald McDonald house near Children's Hospital.

Khloe is not expected to return to school for several months. However, all of our staff and students want her and her family to know that she is continually in our thoughts and prayers.

We love you, Khloe and hope you feel better soon!

The outpouring of love, caring, concern and support for Khloe from our Finley-Oates family has been overwhelming! Please continue to send your spare change to help Khloe and her family during this difficult time. We will collect donations through Tuesday, April 30th.

Parents, please make sure your children

• get a good night's sleep;
• wear comfortable clothing;
• eat a nourishing breakfast;
• get to school on time; and
• know YOU BELIEVE in THEM!
