Story
Mrs Andrew taught at St Paulinus School in Crayford for over 17 years. After beating breast cancer 8 years ago she developed bone cancer and lost her brave fight 8th May 2018. She continued to work during her illness always with energy, a smile and passion.
One of her many roles at the school was our schools SENCO (Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator). It was her goal and dream for St Paulinus to have a sensory room to help support our children who need specialist education and support. The PTA, pupils, teachers and parents are devastated by her sudden passing and would like to honour her memory by raising enough money to build an amazing sensory room. The pupils will also be asked to join in and think of other fund-raising ideas to help them focus on a happy goal to help with their grief.
Sheena Andrew was a mother to two young children, a much-loved wife, cherished daughter, loved colleague and sorely missed teacher to the pupils. We hope you will help us raise money to create a wonderful legacy for her family to feel proud of and our children to benefit from.
Thank you in advance for any support you can offer us.
