Students rally for childhood cancer awareness in schools
During a recent government meeting, Morgan Marks, a senior at Cedar Ridge High School and social media chair for the Team Brock Junior Committee, passionately advocated for a resolution to promote Childhood Cancer Awareness Month this September. Marks shared a personal connection to the cause, recounting the tragic loss of Jenna Fleming's brother to pediatric brain cancer, which inspired her to raise awareness about the disease.

Marks urged the Round Rock Independent School District (RRISD) to \"go gold\" in support of students affected by childhood cancer, calling on all 34 elementary schools, ten middle schools, and four high schools within the district to participate. She emphasized the importance of collaboration among teachers, coaches, and administrators to make this initiative a success.

The resolution aims to foster discussions about childhood cancer and encourage community involvement in finding a cure. Marks concluded her address by inviting interested schools to visit the Team Brock website for more information on how to get involved. The board expressed gratitude for her presentation, highlighting the significance of student voices in addressing critical health issues.
