Cancer is a disease that impacts so many of us in different ways. You can get involved in the fight to find a cure by ordering a shirt and participating in the “PINK” game we are having on Oct. 5th sponsored by the Pigskin football parents. Several different activities will be going on that week and during the game to raise funds for the Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer Research, but the shirts have to be pre-ordered by this week. Order forms are available in the office. If interested, return the order form to the HS office by Thursday. Help us PINK out the stadium!
