Superintendent announces Oct. 11 breast cancer walk and Hispanic Heritage celebration at Hillside High

Superintendent Glover told the board the district will publicize breast cancer awareness events that will take place on Saturday, Oct. 11, beginning at 8:30 a.m. at Hillside High School and concluding at Heard and Looker, where a Hispanic Heritage celebration will begin at 11 a.m. "We'll be putting out communication on our breast cancer awareness events that'll be taking place. Again, you mentioned Saturday, October 11, we'll begin in at 08:30 at Hillside High School, and we will conclude our walk at Heard And Looker, where we will then begin Hispanic Heritage celebration, which will begin at 11:00," Superintendent Glover said.

Glover said schools have been preparing and decorating, and he told the board he had spoken with HEA President Lawler about arranging a special recognition for survivors in the community. He said the district has ordered items for survivors and will try to "do a nice event and celebrate." On a personal note, Superintendent Glover said he had lost his mother-in-law to breast cancer and described the month as "near and dear" to him. He encouraged participation and said information would be posted on the district website.

The superintendent closed by thanking teachers, administrators, staff and students and wishing them a successful school year. No policy actions or new funding allocations for these events were reported in the transcript excerpt.
