julie hagel scholarship
This scholarship honors the memory of Julie Hagel – mother, parent, friend, and classmate. Julie participated in LWTG with her daughters, Laura and Megan. Throughout her time at LWTG, Julie set an exemplary example for all of us. She was patient, kind and giving to all her classmates, big and small. Whether you were a close friend or someone who interacted with Julie once a week at Toddler Group, she was never too busy to listen and share in your joys, sorrows, struggles and triumphs. Julie had a gift of knowing when to listen, when to give one of her hallmark knowing smiles, and when to offer advice, all while making you feel important to her.
Thirteen months after her diagnosis, Julie lost her battle with ALS. Her family and friends wish for this scholarship to allow more parents – especially those with special health needs – to enjoy time with their kid at LWTG.
