It has been a very difficult week for our community. The one thing I can say about Burlington Township is that we are a resilient community. We are a community that supports one another. The outpouring from everyone has been amazing.
I would like to encourage our families to remain focused on the healing and the supporting of our students throughout the weekend and beyond. It is important to keep the support information that we have supplied to you handy. No one has to go through this alone. We are a community that cries together, stands together, and survives together. It takes a village to raise our children. The Burlington Township community is an amazing village.
Take some extra time with your families this week. Talk and play together. Wishing you all a restful, peaceful and healing weekend.
Liz

Resources
Helping Hands are Available
 Just a reminder of the resources that are available for you. It is very important that parents are equipped with as many resources to help them help their children and help themselves. As parents this is not easy, because we do not have all of the answers for our children. Please take advantage of the several resources to help you. Remember you are not alone in this. It takes a village! |

Help for Shane
 One of our Fountain Woods students, Shane McLaughlin, is in need of our support and help. A Give Forward account has been set up by the co-workers of Shane's mother, Kelly, to assist the family with Shane's medical bills. Shane was born with anorectal malformations (ARMs), which is a permanent condition. Shane is an incredible little boy with a smile that can light up a room. Shane is currently on homebound instruction, as he is medically unable to attend school. This fundraiser has been set up with hopes of raising money to help keep the medical supplies coming in. The family pays close to $900.00 out of pocket monthly for medical necessities. They continue to wait for his Social Security benefits to come through. Please consider helping Shane. If you would like to learn more about Shane and his Give Forward account, please click the link below.
