🚨 Brooke County Schools Staff & Students 🚨
On March 10th, we are asking ALL Brooke County Schools staff & students to join BHS PreK in wearing ORANGE to show district-wide support for Laiden and to help raise awareness for Brugada Syndrome.
🧡 Why Orange?
Wearing orange is a simple but powerful way to stand together for students facing rare medical conditions. On March 10th, our united effort will help spread awareness and show Laiden that the entire Brooke County Schools community is behind him.
Brugada Syndrome is a rare, inherited heart rhythm condition that affects the heart’s ability to pump normally. It involves irregular rhythms that begin in the lower chambers of the heart and can be detected through an irregular ECG, which measures the heart’s electrical activity.🧡
