Welcome to Y Teacher's Journal

The Lance Armstrong Foundation is a nonprofit organization that strives to inspire and empower people affected by cancer. Their website provides teachers with many resources to help address the topic of cancer in the classroom.

From the 'LIVESTRONG at SCHOOL' webpage:

"The Lance Armstrong Foundation believes that unity is strength, knowledge is power and attitude is everything. One in three people in the US will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. As a result, children in your classroom are likely to be dealing with cancer right now, whether with a grandparent, parent, family member, friend or teacher. LIVESTRONG at SCHOOL, free online lessons, teach about cancer in a way that is age-appropriate, hopeful, inspiring and empowering. Lessons include national standards, clear learning objectives, engaging videos, extension activities, a check for understanding and ways that students can get involved in the fight against cancer."

Excited to see several teachers who are already working with Roswell Park -- either through Touch Science or by sending students to the Institute. Looking forward to making lots of connections today. If you need more information, please email us at yroswell AT roswellpark.org . (just change the AT to @ when you email us).

Roswell Park participated in the world-wide human genome project.
