Today we wore silly socks as a reminder to “Sock it to Drugs” Responsible people always try to do the right thing, even though it may be difficult. A friend that tries to talk you into a situation that is wrong is not your friend. Today you received a bookmark as a reminder that you have better things to do then drugs. Make a list of things that you enjoy doing for fun. Make sure that reading a good book is on your list.
Today we wore hats as a reminder to always use our head when it comes to drugs. Remember to only take medication from a trusted adult. Never ever take another person’s medicine. It could make you very sick. Today we received a Red Ribbon pencil. Use your pencil to make a list of things that you can do to take great care of your body. Responsible people are responsible for their bodies.
A Red Ribbon Week Newsletter is coming home. Check your child's folder. There will be a whole week full of Dress-Up Days. The entire school will be having a Penny Wars. Be sure and read the directions. If you send pennies with your child, please put them in a Ziploc baggie and label it for the Penny Wars. There is also a description of the Guidance Lesson that will be presented to the students. On the back, check out Tips for Talking with Kids about Drugs and Alcohol. Your child is not too young to start opening those lines of communication. We are looking forward to an exciting and fun week.
Thursday, October 20: Wear a COLLEGE shirt. (This is optional. If your child doesn't own a college shirt, then they need to wear clothes that follow dress code.)
Friday, October 21: Wear a RANGERS shirt to celebrate the team making it to the World Series. (This is optional also.)
Next week in Language Arts, we will be studying families. To celebrate on Friday, October 7, we are encouraging each kindergarten student to " Dress like their Mom or Dad."
GFAA is having Professional Team Jersey Day on Friday. Wear your favorite team jersey tomorrow. Students do not have to follow shirt "dress code" if they are wearing a team jersey.
Also Kindergarten is celebrating the letter Mm by wearing a mask to school on Friday. No scary mask please!
