Again this year we are creating some activities to highlight Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) Awareness and support the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). Here at I-35 alone, we have 4 students and 3 staff that live with the struggles of this disease, along with their families, friends and peers that are affected by the concerns of this disease. Our Diabetes Awareness activities will take place throughout the month of April. In order to create a successful campaign, we have several activities lined up for all students (PK-12) to take part in. These awareness activities are outlined below:
JDRF T-Shirts: Students, staff and community have the opportunity to purchase a JDRF shirt through Jones Creek Apparel. https://jonescreekapparel.com/roadrunner_jdrf/shop/home (We are ordering these now so they are here in time for the walk) Please use the above link or the attached form to place your order. Store is open until April 5th at 9 am.
The week of April 22 we will be selling Diabetes Awareness silicone bracelets, for $1. Look for more information as we get closer.
School Walk for Awareness: On Tuesday, April 30th all PK-12 students will walk around the track to promote awareness for JDRF. Rufus the Bear (JDRF mascot) will be making an appearance!
We look forward to raising awareness for a fantastic cause! Thank you for your time and consideration. All proceeds will be given to the JDRF organization. Any questions or concerns, please contact Brandi Ransom at bransom@i-35.k12.ia.us or 641-765-4901.
