Yavneh Academy was honored again this year to participate in Sharsheret Pink Day on February 12. The day began with a presentation for the seventh and eighth graders by Mrs. Bonnie Beckoff, Director of Support Services at Sharsheret, who spoke about the mission of Sharsheret and how middle schoolers can get involved. The sixth graders heard an inspirational presentation by Coach Lauren Greene who, as a breast cancer survivor, explained how essential Sharsheret is for the community. Students decorated the school in pink, proudly ran a pink snack sale during lunch and participated in a Sharsheret Pink Day hoopathon. Middle school students had the chance to shoot hoops and use hoola hoops for Sharsheret (with pink basketballs and hula-hoops, of course) with sponsorships from parents. Over $1700 was raised to benefit Sharsheret.
