Pink Out for Addison Good evening Oakwood families. You may have already heard that Harvey Swanson 4th grader, Addi Goff is gravely ill at Children’s Hospital in Detroit. Addi had been suffering from migraine headaches and went to a neurologist last week to get treatment to manage her headaches. Testing revealed that the headaches were caused by a brain tumor. Addi was scheduled for brain surgery to remove the tumor on Monday, April 30th. At first it seemed that the surgery was a success and all seemed well. Things took a turn for the worse and currently Addi is fighting for her life and is sadly not expected to make it. In an effort to show our love and support for Addi and her family we are having a Pink Out at Oakwood tomorrow. We are asking all staff and students to wear pink, Addi’s favorite color. We plan to take pictures to send to the Goff family in hopes that it might lift their spirits a bit or at the very least let them know that the whole community is behind them. I will have pink ribbons available for kids who do not have any pink to wear. Please join me in keeping this family in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this most difficult time. This is a time to show what a BIG heart this small community has. There will also be a prayer vigil tomorrow night at Brandon Community Church, 2300 South Ortonville Road from 5:00-9:00 p.m. Coy Stewart Oakwood principal |
