Good afternoon families! Reminder, we have a short week. We do not have school Thursday or Friday or the 5th day program due to educational conferences for staff. Also, we will have our earthquake drill on Wednesday, October 18, at 10:19 am. Staff will share a short video prior on earthquake safety. Next week is Red Ribbon Week and our counselor will be holding lessons on being kind and safe. With lessons, we also have dress up days. Monday is wear sports/team jersey, Tuesday is wear camo, Wednesday is wear crazy socks (also picture retake day) and Thursday is wear red.
