As we continue to welcome our students back to school,

we discover new and unique characteristics of each one.
This is to inform you that Harley Burry is presently
enrolled and in Grade 1 at our school. Harley is the son of
Chantel and Dave Burry of Clarkes Beach.
Harley has been diagnosed with Childhood Cancer and is currently receiving
chemotherapy under the care of the Pediatric Oncologist at the Janeway
Childrens Health and Rehabilitation Centre in St. Johns, NL. On a regular basis
he is required to receive treatments at the Janeway.
When a child is receiving chemotherapy, their immune system is severely
compromised and is at a high risk of contracting communicable diseases. While
Harley is in Grade 1, there are many times throughout the school day when
riding the bus, during recess and lunch breaks, and when participating in school
activities and events that we are all together.
If your child has developed or perhaps is developing chicken pox (even on a
weekend or school holiday), please inform Harleys parents and school personnel
so that appropriate treatment can be provided for him.
Each child is special and needs to feel safe and secure in our learning
environment. Help us protect Harley by letting us and his parents know of any
occurrence of chicken pox to which he could be exposed.
Chantel and Dave Burry can be contacted by telephone @ 709.788.2292 /
709.680.3962 / 709.770.4831. The email address is chantelburry@hotmail.com.
Thank you for your attention to this most important matter. With your support,
Harley and all of our other students will be safe and grow to be great contributors
in our world.
