Summary

A touching tribute to Jaxon McKenzie, a six-year-old who bravely fought a rare brain tumor before passing in 2024, as Broxburn Primary School unveils The McKenzie Classroom. Named in his honor, the vibrant outdoor space was officially opened by Jaxon’s sister and best friend alongside school leaders, drawing a heartwarming community turnout. The ceremony blended solemn remembrance with joyful celebration — complete with a dress-down day and slip-and-slide — raising nearly $500 for Jaxon’s Gift, the charity his family founded to support other children and families facing cancer. This enduring classroom stands as a living memorial, blending education, play, and compassion to honor Jaxon’s legacy and the community’s unwavering spirit.
