We hope everyone had a nice long weekend! Back to business as usual for this week!

It’s Red Ribbon Week, where we focus on positive attitudes and behaviors and making good choices! Every day there is a different theme to keep the students engaged in the discussion; and on Thursday we will have a fun assembly featuring BMX superstar Matt Wilhelm! A flyer with all the details was sent home in students’ backpacks but here’s an extra reminder (you can also download the flyer here):

• Monday: “STOP Bad Choices and Eat Right”. Students and teachers are encouraged to wear red today.
• Tuesday: “Hairs to Being Healthy!” Crazy Hair Day!!!!
• Wednesday: “Don’t Get Stuck on Drugs” Students can wear a hat and they will receive a sucker.
• Thursday: “Team Up Against Drugs”. Students and teachers can wear their Robert Crown Spirit wear or school’s colors (purple and yellow). There will be a special afternoon assembly scheduled for students to attend. Matt Wilhem, a professional BMX biker will entertain the kids and encourage them to live a healthy life.
• Friday: “Shade Out Drugs Day!” Students and teachers are encouraged to wear sunglasses today.

On Friday, we will celebrate Halloween with a costume parade around school grounds at 2 p.m. (weather permitting), followed by classroom parties. Contact your Head Room Parent, if you haven’t already heard about your students’ party!
