During Red Ribbon Week, we reflect on the fact that living drug-free is about making choices that help us grow, learn, and thrive. Substance abuse can harm the brain, slow learning, and negatively impact relationships.

Be sure to choose hobbies and friendships that lift you up and keep you motivated! ❤️🙌

Unity Day reminds us that small acts of kindness can make a big difference. If you see bullying, tell a teacher or trusted adult—and show kindness to those who need it most.

It’s National School Bus Safety Week! Safe rides start with smart choices, and here’s how students can help:

Emotional Intelligence Awareness Month reminds us that understanding our emotions is key to strong relationships and a healthy mindset. Encourage students to name their feelings and express them in positive ways! 😀

Consistent attendance matters! 📚

Chronic absenteeism isn’t just missing school—it’s missing out on learning. Students who are chronically absent are more likely to experience lower academic performance, higher dropout rates, and long-term disengagement.

Let’s work together to help our students show up, stay engaged, and succeed. Every day counts! 💪🎒

Every day in school is an opportunity to learn, grow, and stay on track. Let’s finish this week strong by coming to school ready to learn and making the most of every day! 💪

🌟 Key Club Trashcan Beautification Project 🌟

Our Key Club students are stepping up to keep our campus looking its best! 🗑🐾

During upcoming sporting events, keep an eye out for our newly decorated trash cans around the stadium. Students have transformed them with school spirit, fun designs, and creative messages to encourage everyone to “slam dunk” their trash instead of leaving it behind. 🏈🏀🎨

This project is all about promoting pride, cleanliness, and community at our games. A huge thank you to our Key Club members for their time, creativity, and leadership in making a difference!

On World Teachers Day, we pause and reflect on the profound impact teachers have on our world. They do more than teach lessons—they spark imaginations, instill confidence, and build brighter futures. 🚀

Thank you for everything you do!
