Everman High School September 2015 In This Issue
Childhood Cancer Awareness Every year, thousands of children are diagnosed with cancer. While many of them survive and go on to live healthy and happy lives, nearly 2,000 American children die each year from the disease. Over the years, the 5year survival rate has significantly increased. In 1970, the survival rate for most childhood cancers was only about 50%. Today the chances that a child will survive more than 5 years are nearly 80%, even higher for some forms of cancer! This is all thanks cancer research and treatment and the countless hours that are put into finding a cure. On Thursday, September 10th, the Everman High School Key Club spent an afternoon making cards for sick children. The following week, we had a fundraiser where we sold yellow ribbons, which signify childhood cancer awareness for 2 dollars. We were able to collect over $400. Both the money and the cards will be sent to Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth, TX.
