Danielson resident chosen as Jimmy Fund Clinic patient partner DANIELSON — Danielson resident Alexander Hopkins, 20, has been named a Jimmy Fund Clinic Patient Partner for the annual Stop & Shop Triple Winner Game. The son of Melissa and David Hopkins, Alexander is a patient at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. He is one of four patients featured in the 2013 promo- tions for the 23-year-old fundraising program. Alexander was diagnosed with mesoblastoma in October 2011 and completed his treatments, which Alexander included nine rounds of chemotherapy and 30 rounds Hopkins of radiation in November 2012. Alexander is a fresh- man at Quinebaug Valley Community College where he studies graphic design. He loves animals and defined his biggest milestone in the last year as being a good role model for his friends and family including younger brother, Brody, 14. Beginning April 19 through July 18, shoppers will have the opportu- nity to help support pediatric brain tumor care and research at Dana- Farber Cancer Institute when they make a $1 contribution as part of the Stop & Shop Triple Winner Game. Shoppers who make a $1 contribution to the Jimmy Fund get a Triple Winner scratch ticket and receive free store products, coupons, gift cards, or cash prizes up to $10,000. Stop & Shop, in partnership with the Boston Red Sox, has raised more than $52 million through the Triple Winner Game. The Triple Winner Game, started in 1991, supports the fight against pediatric cancer, including the Stop & Shop Family Pediatric Brain Tumor Clinic at Dana-Farber,the most comprehensive research and care center for pedi- atric brain tumor patients in the United States. This program also pro- vides children with in-depth intellectual and emotional support to help them adapt to their lives post-treatment. The Patient Partner Program gives pediatric patients and their fami- lies an opportunity to establish mutually inspiring, non-caregiver rela- tionships with participants in fundraising programs of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund. These special friendships can be fun distraction from medical matters to partners and their families/organizations and offer additional inspiration to event partic- ipants for their fundraising efforts. It also illustrates to event partici- pants and their supporters how valuable their fundraising efforts and contributions are to the mission of raising funds for cancer care and research. QVCC program earns national accreditation DANIELSON — Quinebaug Valley Community College’s Associate of Science in Early Childhood Education (ECE) program has earned accreditation from the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) Commission of Early Childhood Associate Degree Accreditation. The accreditation decision is based upon the Commission review of the program Self-Study Report, the Peer Review Team Report, and Written Response. It was reported in both the Peer Review Report and the Self-Study Report that “program faculty are well qualified and share their passion and enthusiasm with students, creating supportive rela- tionships which contribute to students’ ability to be successful.” QVCC has 18 NAEYC accredited sites where students are placed for field experience. Additionally, it was noted that the Early Childhood Education program “embodies the mission of the college” and a culture of student success which is evident in the student services, resources, and varied course offerings that are available to students. Early Childhood Education Program Coordinator Susan Spencer and Instructor Cindy Shirshac concurred with the results of the reports, “The process and final decision by NAEYC to accredit the QVCC ECE degree program has validated what we already knew — we have an out- standing ECE program which prepares future teachers to work with young children in quality programs.” For additional information, contact Professor and ECE Coordinator, Susan Spencer, [email protected] or 860-412-7238.
