Amy Arsenault: Breast Cancer

Our dear friend, Amy Arsenault was diagnosed with breast cancer at the beginning of summer. Upon feeling a lump in her breast, she immediately met with her doctors only to confirm that she had stage 1 breast cancer. Amy, aka Mrs. Arsenault, started the school year at Hawes Elementary School with her first grade class at the beginning of September, but will have to take time off to heal.  Amy will undergo a lumpectomy on September 29th. Upon healing from her surgery, she will undergo radiation treatments for six weeks or longer depending on how her body will respond to the radiation. Unfortunately, her teacher disability benefits only pay out a potion of her salary.  She gives of herself unconditionally to all of the students and their families that she comes in contact with. Amy is loved and admired by many people in the community.  Since she was diagnosed she continues to have a positive outlook. Please join us in supporting our friend during this difficult time. Your love and prayers are greatly appreciated.

Love,
Nilda Manning
