This month, the Franklin Middle School Student Council led a successful breast cancer awareness campaign in which students would donated $1 and wore pink to school. All proceeds are going to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
The event was particularly personal for seventh grade language arts teacher Karen Puckett. She’s a breast cancer survivor. And her first period class jumped at the chance to show their love and support.
“Upon hearing on the morning announcements that there was one Franklin teacher (me!) who was a breast cancer survivor, they asked for construction paper, markers, etc,” Puckett said in an email. ” They proceeded to go into the hallway and made many posters supporting me and my continued good health. They told me I had to stay in the room. What a moment for me! I was so very touched upon seeing their beautiful artwork.”
