On Wednesday, April 15th, PE director, Robyn Wagman, school nurse Brienne Merritt and a representative from the Juvenile Diabetes did a short presentation. Then the kids did a walk/run up on the field for PE/Health classes. Fundraising packets were handed out at the end of the day for kids to take home and CJMS has a page on the JDRF website for donations. http://www2.jdrf.org/site/TR?team_id=178917&fr_id=4310&pg=team
We are focusing more on education and awareness as well as support and encouragement for our amazing diabetic students and staff here at CJMS, with less emphasis on the fundraising aspect. We want all of our students to be aware of safety and to be a good Samaritan and friend, especially as they go into High School and beyond when they may have a friend with diabetes and need to know how to help them in an emergency.
