The Sachem School District is
showing support for an elementary student battling cancer.
Waverly
Elementary hosted its eighth annual St. Baldrick's event to help conquer
childhood cancer.
This
year's event is dedicated to Sarah Sorenson, a second grader who's now five
years in remission.
Sorenson’s mom tells
News 12 she was diagnosed at six weeks with a high-grade tumor in her spinal
cord and was treated at St. Jude's.
Students, teachers and the
principal shaved their heads in support.
The cosmetology students from
Sachem East helped give everyone their cool cuts.
