NO SCHOOL: Thanksgiving Recess
Feb. 1 marked the sixth year that Albany High School sophomore Rylyn Swierzewski is cancer-free.
To celebrate – and support those living with cancer – she’s seeking to raise money for the Upstate New York/Vermont Chapter Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. At the same time, she is vying for the title of Student of the Year, actively competing against high school students in the surrounding suburbs for the title.
While in second-grade, Swierzewski was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. Learn about her fight against the deadly disease and support her efforts. And help her become the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society student of the year!
