Hello families, partners, and community as we celebrate breast cancer month our hearts go out to all that have experienced breast cancer, known someone who had or has breast cancer, and the families that had to provide the support and love to someone who had breast cancer.

Our gate in front of the school is surrounding with the names of survivors and the names of the people who battled breast cancer and are no longer here with us.

Let me share a few statistics about breast cancer:
