Like most school districts, Mesquite ISD has a high
percentage of female employees. And fighting heart disease, the number one killer of women
according to American Heart Association, is a movement we fully support. In
fact, for several years Mesquite ISD has led the state as the school district
giving the most or second most donations on Go Red for Women Day. In 2012, we
raised more than $16,000.
The first day of February will be the next Go Red for Women
Day, part of a national movement that leads millions of women and men to wear
red and commit to fighting this deadly disease. Look for many of our employees to
show their support by donning the campaign’s Rock the Beat T-shirt or pin that
day.
Since Go Red campaign’s inception a decade ago, tremendous
results can be seen. First and foremost, 21 percent fewer
women are dying from heart disease. Learn more about this campaign and its
impact at http://goredforwomen.org/wearredday/about/
