Over the past month, students at Summit Academy participated in an engaging Cancer Awareness & Prevention program led by Joe Kerley from the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center. Throughout the sessions, students learned about skin cancer prevention, the dangers of smoking and vaping, healthy nutrition choices, and ways to reduce cancer risks through healthier lifestyles.
The boys were highly engaged during every class — asking thoughtful questions, participating in hands-on activities, and even competing in a fun Jeopardy-style review game during the final session. From learning how sunburns increase skin cancer risk to discovering hidden sugars in everyday foods, students gained valuable knowledge while having fun along the way.
A huge thank you to Joe Kerley and the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center for providing such meaningful and interactive lessons for our students!
