Helena Turns Pink


Today was pink day at school in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month and in honor of a sweet co-worker survivor, Melissa. We had shirts made that said, Helena Turns Pink for all the staff to buy. The kids were encouraged to wear pink too and it was a fun day! My sweet friend, Melanie decorated around Melissa's desk with these precious pink pom-poms.

How cute are those?
Melissa's room mom had shirts made for her entire class to wear and surprised her this morning. It was so sweet!



The shirts say.. we are tickled pink for Mrs. Jarrell


I love these two ladies... Melanie and Melissa!

I can remember back 1 year ago, when sweet Melissa was diagnosed with this disease. She has been such a trooper during these past few months. She has overcome so much -surgeries, and more surgeries but now she has her "girls" back and she looks great! Just this past week she even got her tattoos! =) She keeps on joking all of us that she will show anyone that wants to see. ha! I am just so thankful for her and honored to have walked beside her on this journey to watch what the Lord has done in her life. She is a true testimony for all and I am blessed to know her! Tomorrow is the race for the cure and a bunch of the teachers will be running/walking in honor of her. We love you sweet Melissa!!
Most of the kindergarten teachers.. a few were missing.
Happy Friday!
