“Hat Day” is a creative fundraising idea that House has employed to raise money for a variety of non-profit organizations, including the United Way and Relay For Life. The concept behind “Hat Day” is that for 50 cents (the same amount of money you need to purchase an ice cream), you will be permitted to wear your very own hat during the day at school. This is great because wearing a hat in school is not something you can do under normal circumstances!
On Friday, April 1st the students and faculty at House will have the opportunity to celebrate a “Hat Day” to support our team of teachers and assist them in raising money for the Relay For Life,
Will I be wearing a hat on April 1st? You better believe I will. Not only will I be wearing my favorite hat, but on May 6th I will be walking in memory of my cousin Bradley.
Now it is your turn to do your part. Are you willing to spare 50 cents to help in the fight against cancer? You do not have to know someone who has or had cancer to help out. Let’s all join together and help the American Cancer Society find a cure for this terrible disease.
Ms.Roper I like hat day I want to know do you like hat day.

I LOVE "Hat Day"! I can't wait until Friday when I get to wear my favorite hat. In fact, I love it so much I think I'll give up 2 weeks of ice cream! Besides, all of the money we raise is going to a great cause ~ the Relay For Life!
Cancer is a horrible disease and the American Cancer Society needs our help to find a cure. I really want to beat this nasty disease. A form of cancer, leukemia, took the life of my cousin and little buddy Bradley. So it is very personal for me.
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in their hats on Friday :-)

Ms. Roper, I am so glad you shared your story about Bradley with our students. It makes Relay for Life take on a whole new meaning when it becomes a personal commitment.You are very fortunate to have had Bradley in your life. He, too, was very lucky to have had a cousin like you who cares so much!

It is good of what hat day supports. Relay for Life is a good thing to get the money because a world with less cancer is a great world.
