Veterans Park Elementary Students Walk In Memory Of Former Student
They honored a former student Friday by walking in the annual ‘Relay For Life’ fundraiser.
Laura Lemieux was a first grader at the school when she lost her battle with cancer in 2001.
Her mother Jackie Lemieux led the walk, which benefited the American Cancer Society.
Veterans Park Elementary School Principal Amy McVey said, "We are so proud of our students and how they give back to the community. And this is just one of the ways we do that, with this Laura Lemieux cancer walk every year to honor and in memory of one of our former VPE students."
This was the school’s 16th ‘Relay For Life’ fundraiser.
Over the years, Veterans Park Elementary has raised more than $24,000 to help fight cancer.
ABC 36 Evening Anchor Tom Kenny also took part in the walk.
