Cassidy Sheng Memorial Award
We were celebrating Cassidy's life at Bill Crothers S. S. on Monday
(April 13,2015). We were sharing the memories of Cassidy and painting
on the drawing of Cass’ flower in her favourite art class.
We
were honoured to have been invited so we could share such a significant
moment with school representatives including the principal, vice
principals, teachers, staff and students in remembrance of Cassidy! A
big thank you as well to family friends who had also attended!
At
the ceremony, the vice principal unveiled an award, namely the 'Cassidy
Sheng Memorial Award', which will be given to a special graduating
student each year. The award encompasses many of Cassidy's qualities:
excellence in visual arts; the virtues of courage, fearlessness, and
perseverance, balanced by humility, kindness, and compassion.....
Cassidy's
long time big dream was to being a Paralympian. She wanted so much to
continue her high schooling in Bill Crothers S. S., the athletics
school. Even during her most difficult time, when she was undergoing
treatments to ease the nerve pains in her body from her cancer, she
still insisted on going to school if she was able to. "Although her time
in Bill Crothers was very short but her spirit appeared to last long
and have left a remarkable impact to the school, to all of us" commented
from one of the principals.
Cassidy's swim
apparel was framed as part of the memorial award that will be
permanently placed in the gym. It was very emotional to remember how she
once swam with that swim gear. Cassidy's "fearless" spirit will forever
remain in her dream school, Bill Crothers. S. S.
Thank
you all for your love especially to her school, Bill Crothers S. S.,
for honouring the memory of Cassidy with this meaningful award!
"And
we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love
him, who have been called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28
NIV)
