"Right in the middle of her life, on an ordinary day, the unthinkable happened. Everything went from ordinary to chaotic, and there I stood in the mess of it all, knowing there would now forever be a before and an after. THAT day." – Sharyn Marsh Bethany Early Childhood Center Administrative Assistant, Mrs. Shannon Schwenke, holds these words close, often reflecting on how they resonate with her journey. Earlier this year, the Bethany community rallied around Mrs. Schwenke as she faced a battle with breast cancer. Following her diagnosis, she endured challenging medical appointments and procedures. Her ECC team became her backbone—co-workers turned family, arranged flexible schedules, provided meal support, and attended to her every need, large and small. Friends offered guidance, helping her navigate medical decisions with compassion. During her six-week fasting regimen before surgery, friends joined her in fasting as a show of solidarity. “I was floored to find out how many people fasted with me,” she recalls. Parents brought care packages, visited her home, and encouraged their children to write letters to Mrs. Schwenke. In her hardest moments, these letters from her young “pen pals” brought her comfort and a sense of connection. The kindness extended to her entire family; her husband and daughters (also Bethan y staff) found friendship and support from these parents, strengthening the community bond even further. For Mrs. Schwenke, healing required both medical and community care. Her medical team emphasized the importance of a strong support system, and the ECC community went above and beyond. Now back at work, she reflects on the team-led fundraiser that surprised her with a new desk and office upgrades—a reminder of the love that sustained her through the most challenging times. Mrs. Schwenke’s story highlights the power of a supportive network, showing how the collective strength of Bethany ECC’s teachers, families, and students became essential to her recovery. It’s a reminder of the difference we can make when we show up for each other in hard times, offering strength, comfort, and compassion to those who have experienced "THAT day." Mrs. Schwenke encourages all that qualify to take charge of their health and get their yearly mammogram! #BreastCancerAwareness #BetterInBethany
