Parents and Students,
We look forward to having a great time with the students this week as we celebrate Red Ribbon Week. It is our goal to continue teaching our students about the awareness of bullies, how to react when faced with such a situation, and how to advocate for themselves with many peer pressures. The NEW Covey Habit, Habit 8, is Find Your Voice. Let’s dress up, use our voice, and have some fun this week while we learn!!!
Thank you,
Tara Bailey
