COLBERT PUBLIC SCHOOL

FCA Think Pink Week October 21st-25th

Think Pink Week is in memory of Leo Hernandez (former student).  In honor of Leticia Hernandez (Leo’s mother).  The following are current employees in remission or currently undergoing treatment:  Amber Boney, Bobby Brashier, Tiffany Britt, Rosa Gaynor, Beth Meek, Sharon (Chick) Patterson, Glenda Sutterfield and Shawn Wells. We encourage ALL sites (Westward, Eastward, Middle school and High school) to participate to help FCA raise money for Breast Cancer/Cancer awareness.  All proceeds from hat day will go to Women Rock. 

We will also decorate the study hall with all the “Survivors” and “In Memory of” names.  If you need to add anyone since last year, please email Mrs. Richard with the names ASAP.  The list consists of all kinds of cancer survivors and loved ones that have been lost (not just breast cancer).  

We will have donation buckets in the offices of each school site during this week.

Monday (October 21st) – PINK RIBBON DAY – The FCA huddle team will pass out pink ribbons to wear for the week during breakfast for students and teachers at all sites.

Tuesday (October 22nd)  -  COLLECT SCARVES AND HATS - We will collect new scarves and hats to donate to Women Rock throughout the week. Since many people lose their hair during treatment, a scarf or hat will make their day. If any of you enjoy knitting or crocheting, maybe you will be willing to make some hats.    Friday is the last day to donate hats and scarves.

Wednesday (October 23rd)- HAT DAY- Students who pay $1.00 can wear a hat for the day.  Proceeds go to Women Rock. 

Thursday (October 24th) -  TURN THE HALLS PINK-  Door decorating contest judging – 4th hour for MS and 5th hour for HS. Eastward and Westward will also have one winner each.  A prize will be given to the teacher and their class for the best door at each site. Please have your doors decorated by Wednesday 23rd. Decorations must be school appropriate. Survivors with Women Rock will do the judging for us Thursday morning. 

Friday (October 25th)- PINK OUT DAY – Everybody wear as much pink as possible!  School dress code must be followed. Prizes for the most pink WW girl/boy, EW girl/boy, MS girl/boy, HS girl/boy, and most pink male/female teacher from each site!
