Students and faculty at Poland Dobbins celebrated a Pink Day on Feb. 19.

There have been several theme days throughout the year for the Dobbins students to dress up and enjoy while sharing a simple and unifying message. The Pink day was to introduce the students to the cause of cancer awareness.

Pink Day allowed the students to show their support for family and friends who may have been or may be affected by cancer.

Some of the students also celebrated their birthdays on this day. Feb. 19 was Birthday Bunch that is celebrated once the month for the students who have birthdays during that month. The students are able to sit at a table together during lunch, they get a treat, a card and a pencil.

Dobbins will continue to have theme days as the school year goes on. This gives students an opportunity to portray a big message in a simple way.
