Join the Kavanagh family Wednesday night
Members of the community are invited to join with family and friends next Wednesday, July 18 at 7 pm at St. Barnabas Church to celebrate the birthday of Samantha Kavanagh and wish her well. Samantha is still in Hasbro Children's Hospital following the accident on East Main Road in May.
School officials are hoping to fill St. Barnabas Church Wednesday night with hope and love.
A celebration of Samantha Kavanagh's 15th birthday is planned at 7 p.m. in the Catholic church at 1697 East Main Road.
The goal is to help send get-well wishes to the Portsmouth High School freshman, who was hit by a car while crossing East Main Road on May 22, said School Committee Chairwoman Sylvia Wedge.
"It's important that we get the church filled Wednesday night so she knows how much we care," Wedge said.

Our thoughts continue to be with Samantha and her family, and if you can make it Wednesday night, I'm sure it would be most appreciated.
