For decades, Carol has been the heart and soul of our English department. She’s the person who greets each and every student and teacher with warmth and kindness. But beyond her joyous energy, Carol truly listens when others need it most, and offers advice that stays with you long after the conversation ends. Carol is not just a coworker; she’s a friend, a mentor, and a true source of positivity. Now Carol is facing one of life’s toughest battles—stage four cancer. Despite the challenges of chemotherapy and the toll this illness has taken, Carol’s spirit remains as always--bright and strong. But like many, she and her family have faced some difficult setbacks.

After having to relocate from their home of nearly 20 years, this incredible family needs our support. We’re hoping to raise funds to give Carol something she has always given us: peace, love, and generosity. The money raised will allow her to rest when she needs it most, to take the breaks she deserves from the intensity of her treatment, and to enjoy some quiet moments of relaxation without the weight of financial strain. Every donation, big or small, will help assure that Carol can keep her incredible spirit shining through this battle. Thank you for helping us lift up someone who has spent her life lifting up others. Let’s give back to Carol the same kindness and care she’s given us all these years.
