Slauson Goes Pink
The Slauson Middle School Panthers became the “Pink Panthers” on Friday, October 21st to join in the National Breast Cancer Awareness campaign. “Pink Friday” was an event created and carried out by Slauson’s Leadership Class. Pink posters, banners, balloons, and streamers lined hallways filled with students dressed in pink. At lunch, students made donations and bought goodies made by the Leadership students and their families. Mayor Joe Rocha and Councilperson Robert Gonzales stopped by at lunch to talk with students and show support for their efforts.
“I am so proud of this group!” said Leadership teacher, Kimball Coburn. “This event was completely student driven and directed. Berlyn Ruiz brought the idea to the group and the group responded with creative energy and focus.” Mr. Coburn assigned Berlyn the job of Pink Friday Chairperson. She assigned jobs, coordinated sales with the help of ASB clerk Annette Campos, arranged a guest speaker for the Leadership class, and invited the mayor and council member.
At the end of the day, Berlyn said, “I wasn’t surprised but I was happy that so many people wore pink and donated money."
What motivated Berlyn to create Pink Friday? “Because my aunt got breast cancer,” she said, “and I want to be there for her and support her.” Others in the class also had loved ones that have dealt with breast cancer and enthusiastically planned a very successful Pink Friday.
