Dozens of names are pinned to a pink wall outside the consumer science classroom at Benjamin Russell High School, some living, some passed. All had some form of cancer.
One of the names on the wall is family and consumer science teacher Elizabeth Strickland's. She's told her first-period event planning students her survivor story, about five years ago, when she was a year overdue for routine screening.
