Maria Parham’s Breast Cancer Awareness Day Turns It Pink On Oct. 13

/by

Maria Parham Health will observe Breast Cancer Awareness Day on Tuesday, Oct. 13, as part of a nationwide effort to raise awareness of breast cancer, encourage screening and support those affected by the disease.

Maria Parham Health team members encourage the community to wear pink on Oct. 13 to show their support for breast cancer patients, survivors and families and to help spread awareness throughout the community.

Pink has become a widely recognized symbol of breast cancer awareness and represents hope, strength, support and the ongoing fight against the disease.

Team members are encouraged to wear their favorite pink shirt, accessories, shoes or other pink items. Photos will be taken throughout the day and shared on Maria Parham Health’s social media channels.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month is observed each October and emphasizes the importance of education, early detection, appropriate screening, research and treatment. The campaign also provides an opportunity to recognize breast cancer survivors and support individuals currently facing the disease.

“Breast Cancer Awareness Day is an opportunity for our team to come together and show our support for everyone whose life has been touched by breast cancer,” said Bert Beard, CEO of Maria Parham Health. “By wearing pink, we can help keep this important conversation going and remind our community about the importance of awareness and screening.”

TownTalk: Vance County Schools to Hold Fall Festival & Jersey Sale

/by

Vance County Schools invites families, students and the whole community out to its annual fall festival happening on Thursday, Oct. 8 at Vance County Middle School.

“Autumn Around the World” is being planned as a way to celebrate the many cultures represented throughout the school district, and Grace Herndon, VCS digital media coordinator, said it’s a great way “to bring everyone together and showcase what makes Vance County schools so special.”

Herndon joined VCS Chief Officer of Accountability, Research and Communication Aarika Sandlin on Wednesday’s TownTalk to share details about the fall festival, as well as to promote another special activity in conjunction with Vance County High School’s Homecoming festivities.

In addition to a variety of foods representing different cultures, there will be special performances and other activities that will take place between 5 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. around the Vance County Middle School stadium – on the field and around the track, Herndon said.

This year’s theme is a nod to the wide range of cultures represented in the district’s school, both in the student population and in the international faculty.

Sandlin said faculty hails from countries like Jamaica and the Philippines, as well as India and South Africa.

“We are truly grateful for the cultural exchange our students have,” Sandlin said. Having international faculty exposes schoolchildren to cultures that they otherwise would probably never have, she said.

“That, to us, is part of the Vance advantage,” she added.

These days, middle and high school VCS students have one traditional school option – Vance County Middle and Vance County High – but it wasn’t so long ago that there were two middle schools and two high schools in the district.

Sandlin shared a unique opportunity that VCS is embarking on that she said will appeal to former students of Northern Vance, Southern Vance, Henderson Middle and Eaton-Johnson Middle.

It’s merch – and it’ll be available beginning on Friday, Oct. 9 at Vance County High School’s stadium lot. It’s a chance to own a piece of Vance County School’s history and celebrate the district’s legacy, whether you’re looking for apparel featuring the Eaton-Johnson Cougars, Henderson Middle School Rams, the Northern Vance Vikings or Southern Vance Raiders.

Athletic apparel – jerseys, pullovers, sweatshirts, jackets – all bearing the different logos from the four schools will be available for purchase at just $10 an item.

“It’s going to be a fabulous day for alumni,” Sandlin said. The Legacy Jersey sales event kicks off from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. the day of the Vipers Homecoming game at 7 p.m.

Payment by cash or card will be accepted, she said.

In addition, take a few minutes to stop by the 500 Hall where jerseys, trophies and more will be on display from as far back as the days of the Henderson High School Bulldogs and Vance Senior High School Vikings.

The sale will continue on Fridays in October while supplies last, she said.
