A Silver Star School Award
Junior Diabetes Research Foundation
Horace Mann Middle School students were awarded the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) traveling trophy for their participation in the annual Kids Walk to Cure Diabetes educational school fundraising program at an all-school assembly. Erin Hennessy and Sandy Lange from JDRF thanked Horace Mann students for their fundraising efforts this fall and presented them with the JDRF’s Silver Star banner. Horace Mann students raised almost $1900.00 to help find a cure for Type I diabetes after learning about the disease in their physical education classes. Local JDRF representatives visited the physical education classes to discuss issues and obstacles that children experience when diagnosed with Type I diabetes and the importance of making healthy choices.
