Dear Parents and Guardians,

This week Lori Caron, a fourth grade teacher at Hunking, and her family honored her brother-in-law by dedicating the Hunking Gym to him. Brian Caron, passed away in March, 2016. Brian died as a hero! He worked at Stavis Seafood and the company had an ammonia leak. Brian made it out safely but went back in to save co-workers. Brian had a love for sports and the Caron family honored this love by bidding on the gym dedication at a fundraiser for Hunking. Thank you to the Caron family for supporting Hunking students. We are honored to celebrate Brian’s memory at Hunking! https://www.seafoodsource.com/news/supply-trade/stavis-seafoods-ammonia-leak-kills-one-worker-four-o thers-escape https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Fu440CqLzV71_YAAQJxxkWFqx_Gpn-qB/view?ts=5c598a7e
