In March of this year, while she was a kindergarten student right here at Butler Elementary, Rylee was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a rare and aggressive brain cancer. Since that day, she has faced surgeries, radiation, and intensive chemotherapy with unforgettable bravery.
Through every difficult hospital stay, Rylee has never lost her spark. She is still the same funny, fierce, and loving little girl who loves to laugh, dance, and play. At just six years old, she also shows incredible compassion, always looking out for other children fighting cancer alongside her.
Rylee’s family reminds us that she is so much more than her diagnosis. She is a true warrior, and tonight, our entire Butler community stands together as part of her village.
Today, our students had the opportunity to hear from Foster Huggins with Your Life Is Worth Living during a powerful and engaging assembly.
Foster shared an important message with our students about the value of life, the impact we have on others, and the importance of spreading positivity. Our students also had the opportunity to create their own boards featuring positive messages designed to encourage and inspire others.
We are thankful for the time Foster spent with our students and for the reminder that our words, our actions, and our kindness can make a difference.
If you drive in front of our campus, you will have the opportunity to see the positive words students had to share.
