What is
breast cancer? According to Clark
Middle School nurse
Jessica Durrance, “It is a month that
we make women aware of breast cancer and the preventive measures that they can take.”
National Breast Cancer began in 1985 through the Susan B.
Komen foundation. The rates are very high and are caused physically, mentally, and emotionally. At first they start as tumors and if it
goes through your body undetected, it can spread in any type of your
body part.
Durrance stated that it is good and healthy to do mammograms or self -breast exams to prevent from getting breast cancer.
A lot of women pass away from breast cancer, an estimated 40,000
women pass from it each year. Each year 1.5% women are diagnosed
with breast cancer.

New Breast Cancer Awareness Shoes

HUSKY TRIBUNE
MALL DEL NORTE-October, while this may be known as a
time of ghosts and witches, with the main colors being black and
orange, this can also now be known as the month full of pink.
This is due to the fact that October is national Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Now instead of black and orange clothing, a lot
of people are wearing pink. People are now wearing pink shirts,
shorts, and now even pink shoes thanks to Nike Basketball.
Following the death of Kay Yow, former women’s basketball
coach of North Carolina University, in 2009, Nike has tried to help
breast cancer patients all around the nation.
In 1987, Yow was first diagnosed with the life changing news
that she had breast cancer, and passed away on January 24, 2009
due to the disease.
Within the last years of her life, Yow joined forces with the
WBCA, (Women’s Breast Cancer Association) to help raise money for
the other individuals with breast cancer. After hearing the death of
the former coach and how she tried to help, Nike started to make a
difference.

Technology, is it good for you?
By ROMEL SALINAS
HUSKY TRIBUNE
Some kids like to be outside, some kids like to be inside,
some like school, and some don’t so by bringing technology in to the
classroom be helpful or harmful?. Would this help kids enjoy school
better? Most of the world’s information is at the fingertips of kids,
teens, and adults.
Technology can make a big difference, let’s see
the helpful affects.
Teachers can now do group activities
with the students
by having each students researching up
whatever the lesson may be. Another benefit is that students can now
have one-on-one with the teacher, so that students don’t have to be
worried about being judged by the other students because of that
student`s response.
Middle and high school students can now use their phones if
the school can implement a school safe app, this means that weekend
homework can turn into a fun technology weekend with video lessons
that will encourage students to look forward to the next day of school.
With the new technology coming to society can help personalize each
and everyone’s device without buying each student one for every
class with just a simple password and username. Parents and teach-
ers can donate to the school for these devices.
Kids will start to enjoy school as they learn. The personalized math games science videos and the fun of free time videos if the
teachers let you. Also it will be easier for teachers to track and keep
up with the students’ progress. Reading and language arts teachers
will have an easier time to edit and revise the student’s essay, by the
student sending it to the teacher by email. Now with the technology
kids will be able to record on weekends for projects and just documenting if teachers ask the students to do so. If the teacher wants a

Dancing is a fine art that is offered at Clark Middle School.
Sujey Cardenas, an 8th grade student, earned a spot on the CMS Stars
dance team for the past two years.
Cardenas is the mist of her
final year of suiting up for the
Stars dance team and
wants to make it the best year.
The Stars dance
team creates a family atmosphere
that the dancers consider
themselves more like sisters than
teammates. While Cardenas fully enjoys dancing for Clark and everything that it stands for, she has decided that this will be her final year of
dancing for any team and has no plans on trying out next year at the
high school level.
‘’I don’t want to repeat being in another drill team,’’ Cardenas
said.
When Cardenas joined the dance team, it was a way to be with
her friends and to have fun with dance.
“Dance would be one of the things I want to pursue in the future, but besides my other ideas,” Cardenas said.
