• SJCS Cancer Awareness Day

Cancer brings pain to some when they just hear the word.  It has touched many of us (if not all of us) in one way or another.  It also brings people a sense of community in a different kind of way. 

According to the American Cancer Society… 

 In 2021 in the USA, there will be an estimated

•       1,898,160 NEW cancer cases
•       608,570 DEATHS 

That’s approximately

•       5,200 NEW cancer cases per day
•       1,670 DEATHS per day
  

Wednesday, April 21st is SJCS Cancer Awareness Day!  Students and staff may wear a cancer shirt or solid color shirt to show support for cancer with blue jeans or athletic shorts/pants for a $2 donation.  All money will be donated to the American Cancer Society.  Thank you for your community support for cancer awareness!!!
