Awareness Day - Diabetes

Students may donate $1 to support Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that strikes both children and adults suddenly. It has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle. There is nothing you can do to prevent it. And, at present, there is no cure. JDRF is the leading global organization funding type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. Our strength lies in our exclusive focus and singular influence on the worldwide effort to end T1D that supports those diagnosed with diabetes. Students who donate may come to school dressed in a Blue shirt or Viking Spirit wear shirt and blue or black jeans. Please have your child give their donation to their homeroom teacher.
