For Kaiya Hintz and Trista Nichols’ harvest team project they are wanting to bring
more awareness to different types of cancers that are not as well known, yet are the deadliest
to those who are diagnosed with them. There will be a donation bin up each Friday of
March, near the front doors, where you can drop off gifts for cancer patients. This can
include any warm wear, blankets, socks, gum, hand sanitizer, lotion, chapstick, activity
books, journals, or hard candy. There will be a list on the bin with more donation ideas. For
the month of March we will be focusing on 4 of the top deadliest cancers, one for each week
in March. At the end of the week on Friday we encourage the students of FCHS to wear the
color of the cancer’s ribbon to bring awareness and support for the cause. This week the
focus is on Prostate cancer where the ribbon color is sky blue. Prostate cancer is the 5th
deadliest cancer in the United States. 174,650 Americans are diagnosed with prostate cancer
every year. Along with more than 33,330 deaths in the United States each year from prostate
cancer.
Football practice starts this Wednesday after school.
