While thousands of kids in our communities have gone back to school, for pediatric patients facing a serious illness or ongoing treatment, school can feel like a world away.

Thanks to generosity, hospital teachers Lynsey Kjos and Hope Stromsodt help kids continue learning so they can remain in their current grade and feel prepared for a successful return to the classroom.

"I have the privilege of helping students stay connected to learning during an unexpected chapter in their lives," says Lynsey. "I love giving students one-on-one support that builds their confidence and keeps them connected to learning."

Thank you for helping make moments like these possible for children and families in our community.
