Kacie Conant and her Squishmallow
By Laura Hayes Contributing Writer SHREWSBURY — Shrewsbury High School senior Kacie Conant has always known that she wanted to be a nurse. However, with the COVID-19 pandemic, Conant hasn’t been able to volunteer at UMass Memorial Medical Center as she usually does. Recently, she found a way to stay involved by getting creative and reaching out to the hospital’s Office of Philanthropy. Conant has raised over $4,000 for pediatric mental health — nearly triple an initial goal, she set.
