Today we are featuring staff and faculty from Chester-East Lincoln and West Lincoln-Broadwell elementary schools along with Lincoln Community High School as our Pink Shirts for the day. We want to thank the staff and faculty of all these schools for their willingness to show their support for our breast cancer warriors in Logan County.

We also want to give kudos to the kiddos from WLB who donned their pink shirts and posed for a picture. It is important that we involve our children in awareness events of all types. As they learn to do this in their younger years, we hope they carry that into adulthood and cultivate a love for supporting our community in any way possible.

Seeing all these youngsters gathered does raise a question though. If you have young children and a diagnosis of breast cancer, how do you prepare them without filling them with fear and anxiety? There is no easy answer to those questions, but the National Breast Cancer Foundation has an online article about this topic, and it includes some very helpful advice.

We suggest everyone read “How to tell your child you have cancer.”
