Pink Day

     Today was a day full of many emotions.  Sadness at loss which I'll skip talking about today, stress from over 100 Seniors waiting until the last day to turn in their pictures for the Yearbook and parents turning in Tributes for their children, and finally the excitment of Pink Day at Palmer High.

     Of course October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Last week several students wore pink for friends and family on their own.  This week there was more of a push for staff and students to wear pink, especially today.  Between 2nd and 3rd period an all-call went out for everyone wearing pink to gather in the upper commons for a picture so that I could take one for Yearbook and the slideshow on the schools home page.  I was worried that I was too excited about today and hoping that so many would show up that I would be disappointed by a low turnout.  Well, from nearly 900 people in the building this was the turnout for the picture.  I'm happy, especially with all the guys that participated as well.  I too wore pink, but I'm not in the picture.  I was taking it!
