Throughout the month of October, we are wearing pink on Wednesdays to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness Month and, more importantly, to stand together in support of those whose lives have been touched by breast cancer.
But wearing pink is about more than a color.
💗 It represents hope for those fighting.
💗 It represents strength for survivors.
💗 It represents love for families who have walked this journey.
💗 It represents remembrance for those we have lost.
💗And it represents a school community saying, “You are not alone.”
As a school family, we have the opportunity to show our students that compassion matters, that supporting one another matters, and that sometimes something as simple as wearing pink can send a powerful message of love and encouragement.
So, Tiger Nation, let's make Wednesdays in October PINK!
Wear your pink. Bring your heart. Show your support.
And let's remind everyone in our community that together, we stand stronger.
Leading with Love …One Wednesday at a Time...
- Principal Pierce, Jr. 💗
During National Principals Month, Sussex County Public Schools proudly celebrates our dedicated principals who lead with vision, compassion, and commitment. Travis Councill, Dr. Karin Reavis, and Drexel Pierce, Jr. work every day to support students, empower teachers and staff, and create positive school environments where every student can succeed.
We thank our principals for their leadership, support, and inspiration and for making a difference in the lives of our students, families, and school communities. Thank you for leading with love!
