Update on Erik

Below is a message from Sam O'Brien, our Head of School, in regards to Erik's health.


Dear Families of Lower Elementary West,

Erik Akre is recovering from a burst appendix. A fever last week turned into an appendicitis diagnosis, and then a rupture. He is in the hospital recovering from infection and surgery. Projected recovery time is 4-6 weeks. Julia Nelson has been capably subbing for Erik - and Jessy will shortly be sending out a note with ways to help out Erik's family with food deliveries etc. Keep him in your thoughts, and as soon as we have a more concrete way to offer support, we will let you all know. 

Sincerely,
Sam O'Brien
Head of School


Hello all,

One way we can help support Erik's family is by preparing some meals for them. Click on the link below if you are interested. Please note that his daughter, Lily, is a vegetarian.


Couple things to know about the site:

1. If it asks for a password - it's 2015.

2. If there is another date that works for you, but it's not listed, just let me know.

Thanks in advance for your support.
