COURT HOUSE– Peer Leaders of Cape May County Technical High School and advisor Ms. Kiki Miller started early on this year’s National Lee Denim Day and Pink fundraiser.
Students coordinated a district-wide participation on Thursday, October 7th to raise funds to fight breast cancer, because the national campaign would occur on a non-school day for students.
In an organized campaign to raise funds, everyone from students to post-secondary teachers to custodians, cafeteria staff, administration, office personnel and high school teachers donated to the drive. Dressed in every shade of pink and denim, donors proudly donned a ‘pink ribbon’ pin or a donation sticker provided by the peer leader fundraisers. The superintendent even wore a tie patterned with pink ribbons in support of the event.
Peer leaders organize this event annually, but this year topped last year, raising $900.00 in one day to fight breast cancer.
Peer leaders in the high school work on a variety of community service projects, and serve as mentors to incoming freshmen annually. The relationships forged help create a school community and climate of collaboration.
Throughout the day, pictures are snapped of those dressed in denim, and a group of staff members pose annually, in the form of a pink ribbon, for Mrs. Downey’s Graphic Arts yearbook production as a reminder of this important campaign.
Cape May – Governor Murphy says he doesn't know anything about the drones and doesn't know what they are doing but he does know that they are not dangerous. Does anyone feel better now?
