Every October, people all over the world show their support for everyone affected by breast cancer — including our After the Bell before- and after-school school students at Brookside Elementary School.
Carver kids created awareness t-shirts and learned new STEAM skills along the way!
The pink ribbon is a symbol of breast cancer awareness. It is associated with individual generosity, faith in scientific progress, and an optimistic "can-do" attitude. It encourages individuals to focus on the ultimate vision of a cure for breast cancer.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month was created in 1985 to promote screening and prevention of the disease, affecting one in eight women in the United States annually and 2.3 million women worldwide.
