The students give a lesson in generosity.
Students at Profile Junior-Senior High School in Bethlehem, New Hampshire went well above and beyond the traditional end-of-year gifts for their principal. Courtney Vashaw was diagnosed just four weeks ago with a rare, aggressive cancer. After sharing the news with staff and students, the senior class decided to forego their senior trip and donate all
$8,000 to Principal Vashaw:
“It is very hard for me to accept help, and I have no idea what to say to you,” said Vashaw.
“She's just very caring, very selfless, and we wanted to be selfless, too,” said Baker.
“Every one of us has a connection with her, and she has given so much to us that we just wanted to give back,” said Christopher Sirois, the senior class president.
“She is one of the strongest, most determined women I know and if it can happen to her, you know anything can happen to anyone,” said Hunter Leighton, a senior.
