I am particularly happy to review the 3M Post It Breast Cancer Awareness Note Pad. October is breast cancer awareness month; it is a time when across the nation, pink ribbons appear in and on everything from tins of mints to magnetic gizmos to slap on the rear of the car to pens that write bright pink to the mints themselves in those tins.

Think pink is the theme designed to bring awareness for the scourge that kills many in the United States each year.


Last school year my fourth graders displayed remarkable understanding and awareness as we followed the lingering death of the beloved grandmother of one of our class members. This year, her little sister is in my class. The pain evident on the face of a six year old who is trying to understand why her grandmother can no longer be with her is very noticeable.

3M Post It Breast Cancer Awareness Note Pad are used in my classroom to help the children in my class physically display their understanding that breast cancer is an awful scourge that will continue to rob life and loved ones of those we treasure.

From its inception back in the early 1970s to today 3M Post It Note Pads have enjoyed growing popularity. Following a slow and almost non start Post It Note Pads today are found in many shapes, colors, and design uses.

Because the 3M Post It Breast Cancer Awareness Note Pad are printed with a pink ribbon, it is an easy matter to remove the number I need, cut alongside the ribbon and tap it to the shoulder of the little person who is wearing the ribbon for his/her mom, dad, grandparent, cousin, friend, him/herself or future spouse.

On -think pink- day most of us females wear pink shirts or dresses. The little boys, were loathe to wear a pink shirt, most of them don’t have one, and did not want to face the derision they might from older siblings should they ask for one. It is okay to wear a pink ribbon on your shoulder even if it is NOT okay to wear a whole pink shirt reasoned five six year olds with the wisdom only they can explain.

I like that a portion of every purchase made of 3M Post It Breast Cancer Awareness Note Pads is donated for Breast Cancer Research.

I too lost a beloved family member, my cousin who was my age and a life long friend succumbed to the awful disease a decade ago and I miss her very dearly.

Post-itŪ Designer Note Pads with The Pink Ribbon symbol of Breast Cancer Awareness, are just the thing for use during October. The 3M Post It Breast Cancer Awareness Note Pad make excellent awareness raising gifts for others as well having use in the classroom.

Presented in the popular, 3 inch x 3 inch size the 3M Post It Breast Cancer Awareness Note Padare the right size for noting a quick remembrance.

Happy to recommend.
