The Myers Middle School FCCLA Club spearheaded the "Paint the School Pink Day" on Friday, October 28, 2011. On hand to help celebrate the occasion was Caroline, a pink fire truck on loan from the city of Savannah. The students paid $2.00 for a pink ribbon that was posted throughout the school. After purchasing a ribbon, they were allowed to wear pink for the day. The club raised $500.00, which was presented to the Guardians of the Ribbon. With the Guardians of the Ribbon, all proceeds stay in the community to help with bills, medicines and any other assistance needed by cancer patients and their families.
