Awareness
by Jennifer Macon
Each month of the year commemorates a new culture, campaign, and issue to celebrate, recognize, or fight for, and sometimes more than one. Among several others, the month of October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. As some of you may know, I am a breast cancer survivor, and I am certain that awareness in the form of early detection saved my life. I have been giving a lot of thought to the meaning of “awareness” lately, and I have come to believe that the word awareness means more than just knowing something exists. In order for it to mean anything, awareness must be more of a verb than a noun. Otherwise, what’s the point of the awareness.
I would like to encourage all of you, regardless of the issue, to commit yourselves to having awareness that is active. Ask questions; research and learn; encourage your friends and family; change your behaviors; and most importantly, make your awareness habitual, part of your routine.
For more information about breast cancer, you can go to www.nationalbreastcancer.org and www.breastcancer.org.

Come to the quad at lunch on October 13th for
“La Plaza at the Land“
in honor of Latinx/Hispanic Heritage Month!
Latinx/Hispanic Heritage Month started as a week-long acknowledgement in 1968 and has grown to a month-long celebration from September 15 through
October 15.
These dates were selected to incorporate the independence days of Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, and Nicaragua. Latinx Heritage Month recognizes the legacies and contributions of individuals who trace their roots to Spain, Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Spanish-speaking nations of the Caribbean
The LANDing Ground
Do you need a place to relax during lunch? Visit the LANDing Ground in L-109! Each week new activities will be announced.
Please remember…no food, no drink, no cell phone usage, and no shoes (leave them on the racks) in L109.
Indigenous Peoples’ Day recognizes the indigenous communities that have lived in the Americas for thousands of years.
In a statement from President Biden, the first US President to recognize the holiday, he said Indigenous People’s Day is intended to “honor the sovereignty, resilience and immense contributions that Native Americans have made to the world. But we have more to do to help lift Tribal communities from the shadow of our broken promises, to protect their right to vote and to help them access other opportunities that their ancestors were long denied.”
This month, lawmakers from the House and Senate reintroduced a bill that would establish Indigenous Peoples’ Day as a federal holiday on the second Monday of October, replacing Columbus Day.
Before the president’s proclamation in 2021, many U.S. cities and states were observing Indigenous Peoples’ Day. Colleges and companies have also increasingly recognized it. South Dakota is believed to be the first state to have officially recognized the day (as Native American Day) in 1990. Native Americans make up about 8.5 percent of the state’s population, according to census figures from 2022.
Cleveland High School is located on Tongva land.
