GRADE "A" SCHOOL - AZ DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

IT'S A GREAT DAY TO BE AN EAGLE!

8th Grade Families,

You are invited to join us on Friday, May 27th for 8th Grade Celebration!

New this year:

This event has been redesigned from a graduation-style ceremony to an informal celebration welcoming the students to high school! The 45-minute activity will include celebration speeches and the presentation of the "baby photo" video.

Details:

Friday, May 27 at 4 p.m. in the Horizon Honors Gymnasium
Tickets are required. Each 8th Grade Student will receive 4 tickets for the event. 8th Grade students do NOT need a ticket. Extra tickets are not available.
Doors will open at 3:30 pm. No lineups before 3:30 pm will be permitted.
Dress is informal. However, students must be in dress code.
Students will enter the celebration and sit with their family members or their friends. There is no student procession or student seating area.
8th Grade Promotion Certificates will NOT be distributed at this event. Students will receive them during school hours during the last few days of school.
Can't make the event? The "baby photo" video will be shared via email after the celebration.
The Horizon Honors backdrops will be available for photo opportunities before and after the celebration.
If a member of your party requires a sign language interpreter, please send an email to news@horizonhonors.org by May 13 and we will do our best to accommodate the request.
If a member of your party requires ADA accessible seating, please send an email to news@horizonhonors.org by May 13 and we will do our best to accommodate the request.

We hope to see you there!

Fentanyl Awareness

Fentanyl Awareness Day was May 10. Next week, students in College & Career Readiness, Digital Citizenship & Technology, and Scholastic Lab classes will view a video and engage in classroom discussion to heighten awareness about the dangers of Fentanyl.

Fentanyl is:

A potent prescription synthetic opioid drug approved by the FDA for pain relief and anesthetic.
80-100 times stronger than morphine
A potentially lethal dose of fentanyl is the size of 2 grains of salt.
According to the DEA, 2 out of 5 pills contain a potentially lethal dose of fentanyl

Awareness is key, and we need to educate our kids right now. Preparation is important to having a successful conversation with your kids. To help you with this challenging conversation, we’d like to give you a link to the free Natural High Fentanyl Toolkit: www.naturalhigh.org/fentanyl

Even if substance use is the last thing you need to worry about with your child, imagine, perhaps, that their awareness could help save a friend.
