Red (Purple) Ribbon Week Your child came home with a purple wrist band given out by the district for “Red Ribbon” week. In kindergarten I see this as an opportunity to begin talking about healthy choices for our bodies. In the older grades there will be more discussion about drug and alcohol, or substance, use. In kinder we talk briefly about smoking & alcohol, but try to keep the focus on making healthy choices. This will lead us into our next unit on food and healthy eating. O’Brien’s Field Trip & Friday Events On Thursday we will be walking over to O’Brien’s Market for a tour of the store. This will be the kick off to our next unit on Food & Nutrition. We have 8 parents joining us on the trip. It should be great fun. Regarding Friday’s parade here at school, please refer to the note that was sent home by Principal Jane regarding appropriate costumes. We will parade from 9:00 – 9:30. We will get out of our costumes and then have cross-age buddy activities from 9:45 – 10:45. After buddies we will share some Halloween stories, fun music, and hopefully an interesting visitor. I can’t wait!
