The winner will advance to the Star-Telegram Regional Spelling Bee to represent our district.

Mansfield ISD is encouraging the community to wear a color that represents a cancer that affected the life of a loved one during Colors for Caring Mondays.

The Colors for Caring days for 2020-21 are:

• Monday, October 5
• Monday, November 9
• Monday, December 7
• Monday, January 11
• Monday, February 1
• Monday, March 1
• Monday, April 12
• Monday, May 3

View a cancer color chart here. (Not every cancer has a specific color designation, so multicolor or lavender can be worn to recognize those cancers.)

The Colors for Caring initiative was implemented by former superintendent Dr. Jim Vaszauskas in 2015 after the overwhelming support he received during his bout with thymoma cancer.
