OT-Pink on Friday

I am SOOO excited about school tomorrow. No, not because it is the deadline for Senior Pictures for the Yearbook, which it is. Nor because the Senior Survey deadline is tomorrow, because it is. Nor that the deadline for the Senior Tributes need to be in from Parents, which it is. My life will be very hectic on Friday, and I will not be well-liked because I will have to reject inappropriate pictures, and I will be crabby dealing with over a hundred remaining seniors turning in pictures that they've had NINE weeks to accomplish this task.

No, I am excited about school tomorrow because it is PINK DAY! We've had announcements all week, and today there were big signs all around the front doors to remind everyone to wear pink to school tomorrow for Breast/Ovarian Cancer Awareness/Support Month. We're hoping that lots of people wear pink and we'll try to get everyone gathered in the upper commons area and then I can lean over the balcony and take a picture for the Yearbook and the slideshow on our school's home page.

Most of the pink last week and this has been worn by my Male students. Much to my surprise. I've asked them why and besides the usual Mom/Grandma/Aunt some have answered Mom's friend, etc. So Cool and I'm so proud of these boys understanding and taking a stand at such a young age, comparatively, and going against the grain and wearing a color that boys don't/won't usually be caught dead in.

Hopefully I haven't pumped my expectations up too high but I will try to get a picture posted on my blog soon if all goes well.

Happy Supportive Pink Day

Thanks Polly. Kind words.

I just watched a video from a female friends Facebook post, somewhat risque, of an app with good looking guys to remind you ladies to do your monthly self-exam, with them demonstrating. At the end they dance for the credits. Quite humorous.

And never forget that blokes also get breast caner.

Today I will wear a rosy pink cardigan for work. The shirt underneath could take a light green, dark green or this rosy pink as top layer. I have a small pin I wear most days that says "Make a difference". On Fridays that pin is replaced with a little American flag pin, and I wear blue, to support the troops [as Sandy said "whether you support the wars or not, ya gotta support the troops"]. In October the pin is a pink ribbon pin worn every day.

Yeah for your students, Steven! will you post a l> I am SOOO excited about school tomorrow. =A0No, not because it is the dea= dline

Thanks Steven and all teachers who help to make the students aware of how important it is to support The Cancer groups! A friends son died of breast cancer a couple years back. Barbara in FL
