“Bringing awareness and finding
a cure to breast cancer is something that is very important to the staff and
students at Kimberley Park Elementary School,” said first-grade teacher Erika
Fernandez. “For Halloween, we decided to have a “Go Pink” day!
“Students and staff were able
to donate money with all proceeds going to the Derrick L. Davis Cancer Center
at Forsyth Hospital. Students were able to wear pink accessories, such as
socks, bracelets, and pins. Staff members were able to wear pink as well. Throughout
the day, staff and students had conversations about breast cancer and what it
means to bring awareness to an issue.
“In the afternoon, staff and
students gathered in the outdoor classroom to release balloons. Students
cheered as the balloons were released by staff members in memory of those who
have passed from breast cancer. We remembered those who have survived and those
who are still fighting.”
