The 1st annual "Cancer Out" turned Thorne Middle School pink! On Friday, October 14th, 2016 over 850 students, faculty and staff wore pink and made a gigantic pink ribbon to increase awareness of the fight against Breast Cancer. The students participated in a fundraiser for Breast Intentions, a local organization that provides relief to patients currently going through cancer treatment. Thorne raised over $380 dollars !! The organizer of this event, Christine Giordano said, "I am so proud to be part of Thorne Middle School. This has been about our school as a community and starting an annual tradition where we can help other. It was amazing to hear the students buzzing in the hallway all week about wearing pink and buying a bracelet to support this fundraiser. With such great results during the 1st Annual Cancer Out, I can only imagine that next year will be even better. The sky's the limit at Thorne Middle School. I could not have pulled this off without help from Marie Knouse, Margaret Mulcahey as well as others on staff at the school". This was an amazing experience for all involved!”
