Consider Helping. As some of you know, our beloved teacher Kathy Reich and her husband Rick are going through an incredibly difficult time after Rick suffered a serious work accident this winter. He has endured multiple hospital stays and is currently receiving treatment in Omaha, NE, with more surgeries and therapy ahead.
The travel, medical expenses, missed work, and not to mention the mental toll something like this takes on a family, can be incredibly stressful. Our hope is to help relieve some of that stress, and I know our amazing community and faculty family always come together in times like these.
Please consider supporting Kathy and Rick through the GoFundMe link below and continue to keep them in your thoughts and prayers. ❤️
