Last Week of the First 9 Weeks

Can you believe we are in the last week of our first 9 weeks!! WOW!! Time is flying by. 

 We have  many things going on this week. Please encourage your child to participate in Red Ribbon Week.

  • This week is Red Ribbon Week...
    • Monday - "Give drugs the boot!" - Wear boots and western wear.

    • Wednesday - "Proud to be Drug Free!" - Wear as much red as possible.
    • Thursday - "Don't let drugs mix you up!" - Wear mismatched clothes.

  • Tuesday is McTeacher's Night at the McDonald's . Teachers will be on hand to help serve food and socialize.( I will be there around 6) A percentage of the profits McDonald's makes that evening (5:30-7:30) will be donated to WBE. It's an easy way to support our school and eat dinner at the same time!
