Breast Cancer Awareness Week, October 3-8th
Next week is Breast Cancer Awareness Week during all Co-Curricular activities at St. Francis. We would welcome all of you to stand in solidarity with those who have fought this battle and their loved ones. J. Kyle Braid students will be on the announcements each morning with facts about breast cancer awareness and to encourage all fans to show up in pink. (Ryan Coyle, Kylee Reed, Jake Tibble, McKenna Kelsay, Megan Parisi, Kevin Purdom, C.J. Humes). A donor (St. Francis parent) will be making a donation in our name, therefore there will be no fundraising, but students are encouraged to reach out during the month of October to those being affected by making a meal, babysitting, or writing notes of encouragement. Let's remember to pray for a cure and for those who are suffering with this disease.
