Praise Report

Dear 25th Year HST Families,
I think it is just like God to give us a wonderful piece of news in the midst of all our current challenges.
Ms. Steffi, our Shakespeare Director, who has been battling cancer for over a year and had to go through a very risky bone marrow transplant in Jan./Feb., just receive her Pet Scan report and she is: CANCER FREE!!! Considering that her cancer was a *very *aggressive leukemia, there is no question that e*veryone’s prayers combined with Ms. Steffi’s amazing courage and positive outlook, have beaten the odds. * Please join me in thanking God for this great blessings.
*While thanking God, **I also want to include Mrs. Alexander* (our SR Troupe Director) who has battled her own cancer & it’s recurrence for 3 years. We are grateful that she, too, *is cancer free.* Additionally, *she has been blessed with a special hearing aid which allows her to pull sound from both sides of her head* (she lost hearing in one ear during her recovery). *This new hearing aid has restored the skills she needs to return next year as HST’s SR Troupe director.* She will continue to utilize support from Mrs. Mays (our Acting A teacher) on an as-needed basis.
While it is wonderful to have big things to thank God for, I’m certain there are also small things that each of us can add to our gratitude list. It truly is the best way to stay positive and hopeful.
So, let me start us off with, “*THANK YOU, GOD for these great blessings* *as well as all the little blessings that get us through each day*.” God’s peace & blessings, Marilyn
