Immaculate Heart of Mary School principal Kellie DesOrmeaux poses with “superhero” students at the school’s Childhood Cancer Awareness Month event. The students received their capes and a plaque for their “courage and unending strength” in their fights against cancer.

ATLANTA—September was Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. To honor and remember children and families affected by this disease, students at Immaculate Heart of Mary School gathered on Sept. 29 for the all-school assembly to watch a video on childhood cancer and then listen to the testimonials of two elementary students who talked about their fight against cancer.

After sharing their stories, principal Kellie DesOrmeaux awarded each child a “superhero” cape and a plaque to remind them of their “courage and unending strength.”
