It’s official: The students at Magnolia Trace Elementary have joined the breast cancer awareness movement.

Members of the Mandeville school’s K-Kids club – a Kiwanis offshoot aimed at nurturing leadership skills in youngsters – held a T-shirt sale recently that raised more than $550 to benefit St. Tammany Health System’s breast cancer awareness campaign.

As if that wasn’t enough, the K-Kids members also crafted pink friendship bracelets and wall-hangings to boost the spirits of patients at St. Tammany Cancer Center, a campus of Ochsner Medical Center.

On Friday (Oct. 7), members of the club visited the Cancer Center to hand-deliver their gifts. There, they got a chance to get an up-close look at the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office pink-wrapped Chevy Tahoe, which local residents can sign for a nominal donation to the campaign.

In exchange for their support of the campaign, teachers at Magnolia Trace signed the Tahoe on behalf of their respective homeroom classes.

The breast cancer awareness campaign, which coincides with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, was created to raise awareness of the importance of breast cancer screenings and to raise money for breast cancer care on the Northshore. As part of it, the Sheriff’s Office Tahoe and St. Tammany Health System’s Be Well Bus – which is equipped with mammogram equipment – will visit gatherings throughout the community all month long.
