Jeanne Andrews, an instructional aide, initiates and organizes this yearly event which includes daily announcements and five minute lessons about teen cancer. The week culminates in an assembly featuring teen cancer survivors and representatives from organizations and businesses working to help teens through a difficult time in their lives.
