Month of Neu House Awareness!
Month of Neu House Awareness!
The teachers and House Leaders of Neuschwanstein have asked to correlate the Month of October with their house, since they are our pink colored house. Over the course of the month, they will be coordinating Breast Cancer Awareness activities.
WE RAISED OVER $400 FOR THE HOPE LODGE! EXCELLENT JOB!
Breast Cancer Awareness Month at the Neu House:
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the Neu House would like to take time to honor the survivors and remember those we have lost to breast cancer.
We invite our families to participate by completing one of the linked forms:
In Honor Of – to recognize a loved one who has survived or is currently battling breast cancer
In Memory Of – to remember and celebrate the life of someone who has passed away from breast cancer
Please include your loved one’s name and, if you wish, a photo, and return the form to your child’s homeroom teacher.
Together, we can show our support, raise awareness, and celebrate the strength of those impacted by breast cancer.
