Red Ribbon Week

Oct. 23rd - Oct. 27th

Students are getting ready for Red Ribbon Week 2017. This year's theme is: Your Future is Key, So Stay Drug Free . At school and ACES, students will engage in activities that promote a drug free and healthy lifestyle.

Please partner with us and discuss this message at home, at the dinner table, at family outings, and with friends and extended family.

At ACES we will be showing videos of professional athletes, musicians, actors and actresses, talking about how they get natural highs instead of turning to drugs. We will discuss this with your children in an age appropriate way and then ask them to sign a pledge to be, and stay, drug free.

New October Badges!

October is in full swing, which means we have started earning new badges! Ask your child which badge they are working on this month!

Penpals - ACES kids are learning what it is like to be a penpal and are reaching out to other children in Australia!

Natural Disasters - We are learning about the different kinds of disasters that take place and what to do if one happens in our community.

Foods - Not just about eating! We are discovering where our food comes from and the process it takes to go from the ranch or farm to the grocery store.

Crafts - Kids are discovering their creative side and learning how they can make something out of anything they find in the environment around them.
