Red Ribbon Week

Hi. It is Friday, October 17. I just want to let my students and their parents know that Red Ribbon Week will be Monday, Oct. 27 through Friday, October 31. Each day we have a theme.
Monday: Drugs stink. Wear Pink
Tuesday: Lei off drugs. (Wear Hawaiian Lei)
Wednesday: You can. I can. We all can stay away from drugs. (Bring a can of
food for the Food Bank.)
Thursday: No drugs in the past. No drugs in the future. (Dress retro.)
Friday: Team up against drugs. (Wear your favorite team apparel.)
This should be fun. I hope everyone will participate. The PTA has also purchased bracelets, suckers, pencils and stickers for all of the kids. THANKS PTA!

Hope all of you had a great long weekend. I will see you Monday.

Friendly Reminders:

THE ULTIMATE PENNY WAR: Our school is still collecting loose change for Huntley Project School. So far we have $175 and we still have 1 more week to go!!! Way to go Bitterroot families!
PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES ARE COMING! The dates are Wednesday, November 5 and Thursday, November 7. Today I sent home a bright green sheet of paper for parents to sign up for their top 2 choices for conference day and time. I am scheduling my own this year. Our school is meeting in order to schedule families' conferences as close together as possible. If at all possible, I encourage parents to make a conscientious decision to schedule your conference together. This will help me and the staff here at school because there are only so many time slots available. Thank you!

Hope you will visit my blog often. Feel free to write back. Please remember that this is not confidential. If you have a concern specific to your child, please email, write, or call me.

Thank you and have a great week!
