All Students to be Virtual on Tues., 6/8, due to Democratic Primary Election

SLES Family Needs Our Help to Cover Cancer Treatment Expenses
Dolphin pod! One of our very own SLES Dolphin families needs our help. This little future Dolphin, nicknamed Beautiful, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia in July 2020 and has been bravely battling it ever since. A short time ago, changes were made to the family’s insurance so that now Beautiful's three-year treatment plan will not be covered. Mom can’t get a job right now because she’s the primary caregiver of her daughter. Not only that, this sweet girl is immune compromised so her siblings, who are SLES students now, must stay 100% virtual. We are omitting names to protect the family's privacy.
When one dolphin family needs help, we must come together to do what we can because we are stronger together! This family needs our help covering medical expenses.
*****Update: Thank you to all who have contributed, shared, and supported this dolphin family. We have raised almost $13.5K to help her family pay for chemo treatments for Beautiful!
Please continue to share as you can with your networks.
Every time the link is shared, we see another bump in giving!
