Cheer for the Cure Pink Out Game 

Johns Creek High School Cheerleaders are raising money for the Karen Wellington Foundation (KWF) for LIVING with Breast Cancer at their Pink Out game on October 21st. 

 

There will be a silent auction, T-Shirt Sales and amazing raffle items.  This is an annual fundraiser, and we would love the Johns Creek community’s help!  100% of the money raised goes to the KWF and will send a woman in our community who is battling breast cancer on a trip of a lifetime. 

 

Come cheer on our Gladiators during their Pink Out game and help support the Karen Wellington Foundation for LIVING with Breast Cancer!


Go GOLD in September 

The Johns Creek HOSA club is holding an annual JCHS fundraiser Coins4CURE all proceeds go directly to CURE Childhood Cancer organization. September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month and we "GO GOLD" for Childhood Cancer.
 
To participate, donate any loose coins or cash in the Coins4CURE jars located in the JCHS media center. Or click on the QR code to donate online.

 


September is Suicide Prevention and National Recovery Month! 

FACT: According to the CDC, over one-third of high school students in the United States reported experiencing poor mental health during the pandemic.

 

Connection is key! Students who felt connected to adults and peers at school were significantly less likely to report feelings of sadness or hopelessness and less likely to seriously consider or attempt suicide.

 

The No Shame Movement seeks to end the universal stigma surrounding addiction and mental health challenges. By taking the No Shame Pledge, you’ll show support of youth and young adults in recovery. https://onenorthfulton.org/join-the-noshame-movement/
