Update from LaPerche-October 11, 2019

When you have a few minutes, please read the latest update below  from LaPerche!  

Today LaPerche was #Noahstrong! There was a sea of green everywhere you looked and a feeling of love and support for the Antunes family.  Mrs. Antunes joined us for Morning meeting to say thank you and let us know how much Noah and the whole family appreciates the amazing support they are receiving.  The fifth grade class was able to facetime with Noah from the hospital and it was wonderful to hear his voice and see his smiling face! Pictures are coming soon! For updates from Noah’s family, you can request to join the facebook page Noah’s Fight
