Sting Cancer
How would you like an opportunity to have Lance Armstrong here at Preble. While it may not seem likely, being the only school in the US with a group like Sting Cancer gives us here at Preble as good of a chance as any other school to have the 7-time Tour De France winner walking the halls of Preble and attending a Sting Cancer meeting or event.

There is a nationwide effort to implement the Livestrong idea into schools and I believe we are already way ahead of what the LAF is trying to do with other schools. So I would like to set up a committee of students and advisors from Sting Cancer and anyone else outside of Sting Cancer that may be interested in this competition to implement the Livestrong idea into their schools. The school that wins the competition gets a visit from cancer survivor Lance Armstrong.

For more information attend tomorrow’s Sting Cancer meeting or go to google and type in Livestrong at school.
