Simon Kenton staff showing support for teacher diagnosed with breast cancer

To show support for Carroll as she begins this journey, the staff surprised her Thursday morning by wearing white and pink t-shirts that say, “In Our Fighting Era,” and they will continue to wear them throughout the school year and the day before she receives treatment.

The staff also gave Carroll a “chemo care package,” and the students will receive a surprise to show support for her.

“We have had several members of our staff who have either endured cancer or who are actively going through it,” said Simon Kenton Principal Allyson Thurman. “This is a small way that we can show them that they have a second family of people who love them and who will be here for them every step of the way, from initial diagnosis to remission.”
