5 IT S OCTOBER AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS IT S TIME TO RAISE SOME MONEY FOR BREAST CANCER RESEARCH!! As you know, we have several families here at FBA who have been affected by breast cancer. Last year we sold pink-out t-shirts and raised an amazing $1, for breast cancer research. We would love to raise even more this year with another (as Mrs. Shoemake would say SUPER CUTE) t-shirt. Friday, October 28 th is the Pink-Out football game. Let s fill the stands with pink and raise some green for breast cancer research. Breast cancer is a terrible disease and we can easily do our part to raise money to find a cure by buying a t-shirt. You can order your 2016 Pink-Out t-shirt starting NOW until October 18 th. Orders will be delivered by Thursday, October 27 th. Thank you in advance for your support of this fundraiser. Sign up for the Red Cross Blood Drive coming to FBA on October 14, from 9am-3pm. FBA will qualify for scholarship money! Even one donation will allow the student s to wear a red cord at graduation. If our students are not allowed to give blood due to health reasons, they may have a parent or other adult give blood in their place to qualify for the red cord. For more information, please contact Mrs. Zebreski, RN, at lzebreski@firstdallas.org. Please check our website for up to date information! It s a great day to be a Saint!
