Stella’s sparkle squad

St. Thomas’ Episcopal School (STE) preschool students Emmie Boisaubin and Stella Trevino (pictured, from left) participated in the MD Anderson Boot Walk to End Cancer as members of the Stella's STE Sparkle Squad team. Along with nearly 70 other teammates, the girls walked 1.2 miles through the Texas Medical Center to raise funds for cancer research. Last summer, Stella was diagnosed with nephroblastoma, a rare, cancerous kidney tumor, and her school family wanted to do something to help. STE preschool director Vanessa Lopez and Emmie’s mom Amanda Boisaubin, STE communications manager, worked together to design and sell a team t-shirt made with Stella’s favorite colors, bright blue and pink. Emmie and Stella have been friends since they began STE together in the toddler class in 2022, and moms Amanda and Sarah have served as room moms together. STE families from many different grade levels joined the Sparkle Squad to show their support for Stella during her treatment.
