We are writing to share some news regarding Vicky (Sycip) Herrera.
Last month during a routine medical checkup and breast exam, doctors discovered a lump and advised Vicky to have a mastectomy. After the procedure, doctors also prescribed a program of chemotherapy as an extra precautionary measure.
Displaying her usual dedication to her students, Vicky has been at school (full-time) for the first two weeks of SY 2006-2007, helping juniors and seniors with the college admission process... and so much more.
Next week she begins the chemotherapy treatment, and, during that time, will be taking a leave of absence. She expects to return to work for the second semester of SY 2006-2007.
We'd like to invite you to share some love, well-wishes and words of encouragement that we will compile and send to Vicky sometime next week as a "Get Well Soon" Alumni Care Package . We hope that these messages will lift her spirits and make her smile during this challenging time in her life.
Please send your messages, photos, drawings, notes, etc. for Vicky by email to alumni@ismanila.com OR mail to: Alumni Office c/o International School Manila, University Parkway, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City 1634, Metro Manila, Philippines.
