Saving Lives

Stacie Hackl, Executive Director & Community Educator, from the Breast Cancer Family Foundation shared her story of breast cancer survival and cancer reduction strategies with Family Foods & Wellness students. 

Stacie provides a much needed powerful message to students about the importance of early detection and how lifestyles chosen now can impact the rest of their lives.  If you haven't done so, I highly encourage everyone to check out the Breast Cancer Family Foundation web-site for additional resources and opportunities to support their organization.

In addition, please check out the YouTube video "My Sixteen Year Old Me" below and share with your family and friends on Facebook, Twitter, and anywhere else that will help in spreading this important message of the crucial consequences connected with lack of early detection.

Twisted in a good way

                           Advanced Foods students started their yeast bread unit with freshly made soft pretzels.
