Last month, Robinson School Principal Kevin LaCoste sustained a serious spinal cord injury after falling from a tree. Almost immediately, the community rallied to help him and his family with finances, from selling lemonade to dining for a cause at a restaurant. The popular principal is a friend, educator, and family member to many in this community and a climbing Go Fund Me page has inspired ongoing donations. WestfordCAT wishes LaCoste a quick recovery.
If you know of an upcoming fundraiser to benefit the LaCoste family, please email News Director Joyce Pellino Crane at jcrane@westfordcat.org. [Continue below]
