Red Ribbon Week

When: October 22-26th

Red Ribbon Week serves as a vehicle for communities and individuals to take a stand for the hopes and dreams of our children through a commitment to drug prevention and education and a personal commitment to live drug free lives with the ultimate goal being the creation of drug free America.

Things to look out for:
· Silicon bracelets will be passed out to everyone
· Encourage your students to wear red on Friday the 26th
· Posters in the hallway, cafeteria, and team areas
· Discuss with your students about staying healthy and being drug free
· MSSD’s Peer Mediators will be giving a skit to Team 4-8 on Friday from 10:50 to 12:00. Team 123 is also welcome to join. There will be a Q/A session after the skit.
· The counselors and psychologist will be cleaning up the Promise Garden this week.

There are PLENTY of silicon bracelets – if you are interested in wearing one and showing your support for Red Ribbon Week, please see Cynthia Hunt for your bracelet!

"COME WITH ME AND BE DRUG FREE"

Thanks for all of your hard work and effort in making sure our students stay safe and drug free!

A Special Event

Tomorrow, Wednesday, 10/10 is FIRE SAFETY DAY at Gallaudet. As a special event, the DC fire dept. has been kind enough to arrange for a ladder/fire truck and a model fire safety house to visit Kendall School.

Between 12:30 and 2:00 pm, the fire truck and house will be open for students to visit and to meet firefighters and to learn about fire safety. As a special treat “Stop, Drop and Roll” stickers, pencils and other gifts will be available for the children in the front lobby as they return to class. We trust that teachers and students will enjoy this special fun educational experience and follow up with additional discussion in class.
