FJC Elementary Goes Gold to Raise Awareness For Pediatric Cancer
Students and staff at the Rocky Point school participated in their first "Go Gold" event.
Frank J. Carasiti Elementary School students and staff members participated in their first “Go Gold” event to raise awareness for pediatric cancer.
On the designated day, everyone was encouraged to wear gold or yellow to show their support for this cause and the classes with the highest totals of participation were award a prize. Staff members wore gold ribbons, decorated the main lobby and helped to bring awareness to their students. Over $500 was donated to “Team Julia, Fight Like A Girl Inc.” in honor of a former FJC student.
The event was organized by teachers Michelle Bowen, Carlyle Ritchie and school counselor Jamie Adamski.
