Save the Date! The Fall Book Fair is coming up October 31-November 4. You should have received a flyer this week with detailed information, but you can also visit our book fair website for information and find directions for setting up an eWallet account for your student to shop with.

For the 22-23 school year, students that are absent due to illness will receive any missed and/or make-up assignments upon return to school. They will have 5 days to return the completed work to their teacher. This is in accordance with AC Moore's typical absence policy. Devices and extended absence assignments will not be sent home this year. Virtual check-in sessions with students will also not occur. Those practices and procedures were in place as a result of Richland One's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In an effort to keep the carline safe for students and staff, it is requested that the following carline procedures be followed during the morning and afternoon carline.

• Please pull as far forward to the end of the carline (towards Rosewood Dr.) before stopping your vehicle to allow your student to enter/exit through the gate; do not stop at the main entrance to let students out of or into the car.

• Students are to get out on the passenger side of the carline only, not from the driver side, side facing the road.

• Parents should remain in the car and allow school staff to assist the students into or out of cars.

Every October since 1985, millions throughout the world get involved in Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a campaign that increases awareness of a disease that afflicts approximately 1 in 8 women in the United States. The good news is that most women can survive breast cancer if it is detected early enough. This is why education and awareness are so important.

Over the next few editions of the Bobcat Blaze we will be sharing different ways you can become more involved in breast cancer awareness efforts during the month of October.

Get Involved!!

Educate yourself and others about cancer screenings. Many women never expected to receive a breast cancer diagnosis until it happened to them. Knowing the risks of developing breast cancer can help in early detection, which makes cancer more treatable.

Spread awareness of breast cancer by telling your female friends and family to get mammograms educating them on how to check breasts for abnormalities. You can lead by example. Many clinics offer free mammograms in October. Schedule your mammogram, and hopefully, your friends and family will follow your lead.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) provides breast cancer screenings to low-income and uninsured women across the country. Click here to find free or low-cost breast cancer screenings near you.
