October is Breast Cancer awareness month. This Wednesday to Friday (October 14-16) the Student Organization asked everyone to wear pink to show an awareness of Breast Cancer. Teachers added posters to their Google Classroom streams to promote our event. Breast cancer begins in the breast tissue. It is characterized by the uncontrolled growth and spread of abnormal cells, which usually starts in the milk sacs or ducts.
