 
Thank you to Gabrielle Reece and Laird Hamilton for kicking off Red Ribbon week for our fourth and fifth graders. They spoke of the importance making good choices and taking care of our bodies by exercising, staying active, and eating good food. The students made a commitment to cut their video game playing and soda consumption by 50%!
We ended Red Ribbon Week with our student body wearing red and enjoying the music and positive message of Chic Street Man. He sang and spoke of the importance of taking care of oneself to be able to take care of others.
Special thanks to Jana Blake, Loree McBride, and Marla Pinkett for coordinating this year’s Red Ribbon Week.

Thank you to Brent Spiner who provided his oration skills to help our students become fluent readers of the Pledge of Allegiance. If your child would like to practice fluent reading and speaking, we have attached the words and the MP3.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America,
and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible,
with liberty and justice for all.

The Lost and Found Players (Susan Booker, Lydia Graham, Crystal G., Saxon R., and Truman S.) did an excellent job of performing a short skit on personal responsibility. There are over 50 items in the lost and found because clothing is left behind on the playground. Remember, at the end of each month, the Lost and Found items not claimed are put in the Planet Aide bins and given to others in need.
