Eastside Holds Assembly for Second Grader Battling Cancer

Landon arrived at the assembly via a Warren Fire Truck.

Eastside New Vision Charter School held an assembly at the school Wednesday, October 5 at 1:30 p.m. outside the second grade hall for one of their learners:  Landon Duncan.  Landon, a 2nd grader, was diagnosed with cancer in March of 2016.

Eastside New Vision Charter School students, teachers, and staff were excited to see their friend Landon.

The school raised $731 for the Go 4 the Goal and the Parent Involvement Team PIT Crew presented $1000 to Landon's family to help with the costs involved in traveling every other week for treatments and other expenses related to his medical needs.

The adult staff members waved
with enthusiasm for Landon and his family.

Classes were asked to make signs to show support for Landon.  Landon and his family arrived at the assembly riding atop a City of Warren Fire Department truck.  As part of the celebration, a balloon release was held.

Landon currently is unable to attend class but teachers send home work so that he can keep up with his studies and stay on track.
