Denmark Elementary dedicated its walking trail to former students Dallas Weddle and Serenity Wilkes who faced – and overcame – their health challenges.
Despite what they endured – Dallas, 14, with a rare diagnosis that causes tumors and Serenity, 13, with a bone disease that immobilized her most of her life – they had good spirits and positive attitudes as students at Denmark, principal Kimberly Quinn said.
“Those children are overcomers,” she said about the two teenagers. “I saw them overcome. They’re gone from here, but they will forever be Denmark students and a part of this community.”
Surprised at the dedication, Dallas and Serenity, now West Bemis Middle School students, led current Denmark Elementary students along a walking trail that now bears their names: Dallas’ Dash and Serenity’s Walk.
