CMES Students Go Blue
In honor of International Childhood Cancer
Awareness Day on February 15, students and staff
at Cox Mill Elementary School got “Blue” on Feb.
13th. Cox Mill showed its support for Elijah, a
student at the school, who has been diagnosed
with cancer.
For a $1 donation, students could have a
strip of their hair ‘dyed’ blue by professional
hair stylists at Great Clips. Students also had
the option of dressing in either blue or gold (for
childhood cancer awareness). All money raised will
be donated to Elijah’s Foundation and Miles 2 Give.
