Red Ribbon/Violence Prevention Week

This week, we celebrate Red Ribbon Week, where every day we pledge to stamp out drugs. Every day, we'll have different themes:

Monday - "Boot out Drugs" - Wear Boots

Tuesday - "Say No to Drugs" - Wear red

Wednesday - "Shade out Drugs" - Wear Sunglasses

Thursday - "Put a Lid on Drugs" - Crazy Hat/Cap Day

Friday - "Boo Drugs Away" - Dress up as your favorite book character

Also, Friday's Book Character Parade will take place in the morning for all the school to see, so make sure you come dresses as your favorite character. See you there!

National Freedom From Bullies Week

The end of October is approaching, so this week, students will check out a book with a specific character they want to dress up as for our Character Dress Up Day. Once their character is picked out, they are to create their own character costume using recycled materials, hand-made outfits, etc.

Also, in observance of National Freedom from Bullies Day, students will learn about bullying and protecting themselves by keeping open communication with teachers, counselors, or other trust-worthy adults.

Books to read:

• Bully by Judith Casely
