Thank you everyone!
The Grinch Visited Community Preschool

Dearest families and friends,
Our family has suffered a tremendous shock this week. Our daughter, Audrey, was diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer. She will begin a treatment of chemo and radiation to try to control the tumor, but it is incurable. We are not sure of anything at this time, but I am sure I will need to take days off during the coming months. Our substitute list includes several wonderful, loving teachers who will take the best care of your children when I need to be gone. We so appreciate the heartfelt support, love and encouragement from everyone. The future looks dark, but your wonderful shining lights of love will carry us through this bleak time. Thank you for everything!!
The Martinez Family
Mrs. Martinez's daughter will be starting treatment very soon and we would love to rally together and make a treatment basket for her. The basket will consist of a variety of gift cards, books and items to keep her comfortable during treatments and after. If you would like to contribute to this basket you can Venmo Ellen DeVilbiss, our 4's Coordinator, @Ellen-DeVilbiss, you may need Ellen's last four digits of her phone number for Venmo (8584) to donate. Another option is to bring cash in an envelope with "Chemo Basket" written on it to the Treasurer's box inside the school. We will stop taking donations for the basket on Friday, October 21st. All extra funds will be collectively used for a financial gift to the family
We are also organizing another fundraiser that will give money directly to Audrey and her family to help support them during this challenging time. There will be more news about this in the coming weeks. With the holidays soon approaching, we want to make sure they have everything they would need.
If you would like to help them with a meal, Mrs. Martinez's other daughter, Teresa created a Meal Train. Here is the link. mealtrain.com/4mom37
Lastly, if you would like to bless Mrs. Martinez or Audrey with an encouraging note, we will have notecards and a basket available on the front table Monday morning. Feel free to write words of encouragement that they can read during these difficult days ahead. If children want to draw a special picture, they can do that as well. We will have this out for a few weeks and can deliver as they come in.
If you have any questions at all, please email Ellen DeVilbiss at [email protected]
Thank you for all your love and support,
Community Preschool Board Members
Thank you from Audrey and her family!
Dear Families,
We wanted to reach out and personally thank each and every one of you who donated to Audrey's Chemo Basket. She was given the basket this past week, so that she had it prior to the start of treatment. The outpouring of love Mrs. Martinez, her family and Audrey have received is truly remarkable.
Her basket was filled to the brim with goodies and necessities to help with treatment, along with over $500 in gift cards and $855 in cash. These gifts will be so helpful over the coming months, especially with the holidays fast approaching
Tumbler Fundraiser for Audrey
If you are looking for new ways to help Audrey, an amazing woman through a local non-profit, Thank a First Responder, has created another fundraiser. She sells tumblers that are close to the cause of different responders and 50% of the proceeds go directly to Audrey. If you weren't already aware, Audrey is a 911 Dispatcher for the City of Loveland. Audrey picked out the designs of the tumblers and you can see them below. If you are interested in ordering, there is a QR code or a Google Form you can fill out. Audrey's Tumbler Order Form, Technically, the fundraiser doesn't begin until November 1st, but you are welcome to pre-order.
