About:
My name is Erin Gage and I am the Junior High Cheer Coach at ESM. Our cheer team raised awareness for National Diabetes month. This initiative was brought to my attention by one of our 8th grade cheer captains who was diagnosed with having Type 1 Diabetes. Since we cheer at the home basketball games, she asked me if the team and student body could participate in a “Blue Out” at our last home game for November to raise awareness for National Diabetes Month. She spoke with our team as well as students in her grade to discuss how this has had a personal impact on her life. The team also provided blue attire with sunglasses, and ribbons to show support.
