A lot of seniors are only focused on getting drunk all summer before college. The senior class at Profile Junior-Senior High School had a different concern…

The graduating class at Profile Junior-Senior High School in Bethlehem made a heartfelt decision to give the money raised for their senior class trip to the school’s principal, who was recently diagnosed with cancer.

Principal Courtney Vashaw said they work hard to teach the students about caring for others and being compassionate, but not in her wildest dreams did she think that lesson would directly affect her.

“We decided to not go on our senior class trip this year and donate all of our funds to your cause,” said Ian Baker, a senior.

Vashaw always taught her kids that “it’s important to do something bigger than yourself.” They were listening. :*-)
