A member of the MC2R family suffered terrible loss this week. Brenda (Period 2) lost her brother (16 years old) in a horrific car accident. She and her family were returning from Orlando when their car lost control and rolled over more than a half dozen times. Several of her family members were hurt and will recover. However, her brother was ejected from the vehicle and died.
Brenda came away from the accident with minor injuries, and she is remaining strong and positive. Mrs. Curbelo and I are amazed by her strength of spirit! It only reinforces the quote at the top of our blog: “Our students are STARS! They shine by their own light, they follow their own path, and they don't dwindle in the darkness...for that is when they shine brightest.” Brenda, we know, will shine on!
With all that said, let's come together as families do and help Brenda and her family. Mrs. Curbelo and I are going to take up a collection THIS FRIDAY AND MONDAY to contribute to her family. Bring in your loose change, bills, whatever, If you don't have money to donate, why not sacrifice your Jean's Day dollar for Brenda? We know times are tight right now, so if you can't help financially, your prayers would be perfect! Those are more valuable than money!
Let's keep our "red bandana attitude." We know from Welles' story how much one can do...just imagine what our whole family can do :)
Remember, MC2R love you!
Dear family members, and mothers Mrs. Curbelo and Rod :),
ReplyDeleteI will definitely cooperate in this hardship :) with great pleasure and will do the prayers! Hopefully everything turns out well, because from experience, everything HAS a purpose in life. God bless you Brenda if you are reading this and be strong in Jesus's name! You will heal! :)
With much fraternal love,
Danexsy Duran P6 MC2R :)
