Day 2: Cory's Crew!

Happy Friday! Today at school was another great example of the school pulling together to support a fellow coworkers son and his battle vs. cancer. The amazing team who organized Cory's crew made shirts and bracelets to help raise money for Cory Wagner. For casual Friday we all wore our Cory's crew shirt and took a picture to show our support for him! I even saw a lot of students sporting the blue!!!
My picture will be quickly replaced with the group shot as soon as I can get my hands on it...
They are having a cash bash for Cory on February 26th at the Knights of Columbus in Rantoul to help raise more money for the family. I just bought a ticket today!  They have a long battle ahead but it sounds like Cory is a fighter and he has an amazing support system with his family, RTHS (where his dad works), the Rantoul City Schools (where his mom works) and their church family. Just like Mr. Wagner said....They are going to take it one day at a time. (Mr. Peters even held up a sign with that saying in our group picture!)
It is amazing to know how a community can pull together to support a child and family in need! It gives me one more reason to be proud of my town!!
