October has been marked as Cancer Awareness Month throughout the United States. We typically associate October with Breast Cancer Awareness and the wearing of pink to show our support to those who have this deadly illness. October also presented us with Live Strong Day, learning more about testicular cancer from Lance Armstrong, a well know cancer survivor. Our 8th grade students participated in presentations from Northwest New Jersey Community Action Program Inc. (NORWESCAP). We are very fortunate to have representatives Jim and Sarah come to OCS and deliver such powerful information regarding cancer to our students. We learned about keeping ourselves safe from cancers, such as using the correct sunscreen and becoming familiar with changes in our physical appearance that could be warning signs of cancer and should be checked by a doctor. For more information regarding the warning signs of cancer please contact NORWESCAP .
