Recently at Claiborne High School we held our ninth annual Pink Out for Black event. Special guests included Miss Tennessee 2016, Miss Food City 2016 and Tracy Love.
Donations of $2,500 were given to Bright Pink, the only national nonprofit organization focused on early detection of breast and ovarian cancer in young women. Donations were also given to locals Jamie Vanover-Fischer and Colson Keller, who both suffer from cancer. CHS would like to recognize Hayden Ayres, Crystal Johnson, Keylee Shoffner, Larissa Moraes, Matthew Walker and Tandy Derreberry for their hair donations to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. Miss Tennessee, Grace Burgess, made appearances at TNT Elementary and Soldiers Memorial Middle School to speak about character.
While we missed some school for sickness, CHS is prepared for a healthy week ahead and encourages all students to take precautions such as hand washing, covering coughs and sneezes, and staying home if you are experiencing symptoms of the flu.
