💙 Hemenway families, let’s come together for one of our own.

Many of you may remember Andrea Baer, who was Hemenway’s beloved art teacher a few years ago. Andrea made such a special connection with our students, and she is still remembered and cherished by so many of the children she taught. 🎨💙

Andrea and her family are going through an incredibly difficult time, and we would love to show them the same kindness and support they have given to our community over the years.

If you’re able, please consider supporting their GoFundMe. Every donation, no matter the size, can make a difference. If you can’t donate, simply sharing this post can help reach someone who can.

Let’s surround Andrea and her family with a little extra Hemenway love. 💙🐯

Last month, while work was being done on their future retirement home… Elaine Baer Sullivan needs your support for Support Andrea on Her Journey to Recovery
