Last week, our elementary students had an incredible opportunity to learn, connect, and be inspired thanks to Team Schnak for Type 1 Diabetes!
It was truly an honor to meet Kent Schnakenberg and his wife, Natalie.
His message was more than just a presentation—it was about building understanding, compassion, and support for those living with T1D every single day.
We are beyond grateful to Team Schnak for their generosity in sponsoring shirts for every student and staff member—what an amazing way to spread awareness and unity.
About Team Schnak:
• Team Schnak was founded after Kent’s Type 1 diabetes diagnosis and has grown into a powerful advocacy group
• They are dedicated to raising awareness, supporting families, and funding research for Type 1 diabetes
• Team Schnak actively partners with schools and communities to educate others and spread hope
Did you know? (according the the National Library of Medicine):
• Nearly 1 in 300 children in the U.S. are living with type 1 diabetes
• About 18,000+ children are diagnosed each year in the U.S.
• Around 500,000 children in the U.S. are currently living with type 1 diabetes
Kent's message reminded us that awareness leads to understanding—and understanding leads to compassion.
