Box Tops for Education
Box Tops for Education submissions are due Friday!

Such an easy way to raise additional money for our school—simply clip the box tops from participating products and send them to school with your child(ren). That's all you have to do! Bayside will receive 10¢ for every box top submitted.
Red Ribbon Week
DID YOU KNOW? Children of parents who talk to their teens regularly about drugs are 42% less likely to use drugs than those who don’t; yet, only a quarter of teens report having these conversations.

Red Ribbon Week® (October 23-31), the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the nation, is your opportunity to get the ongoing conversation started.

Visit www.redribbon.org to get tips for talking to your kids about drugs. The life you save may be that of your own child or a dear friend.
Don't Miss Richard Guerry!!
6 p.m. Monday Night, Pilot Center Theatre
