RED RIBBON WEEK
What Is Red Ribbon Week?
It is an ideal way for people and communities to unite and take a visible stand against drugs. Show your personal commitment to a drug-free lifestyle through the symbol of the Red Ribbon, October 23-31.
Why?
The Red Ribbon Campaign® was started when drug traffickers in Mexico City murdered DEA agent Kiki Camarena in 1985. This began the continuing tradition of displaying Red Ribbons as a symbol of intolerance towards the use of drugs. The mission of the Red Ribbon Campaign® is to present a unified and visible commitment towards the creation of a DRUG - FREE AMERICA.
Who?
National Family Partnership is the sponsor of the National Red Ribbon Week® Celebration. We are helping citizens across the country come together to keep children, families, and communities safe, healthy and drug-free, through parent training, networking and sponsoring the National Red Ribbon Campaign®.
Why Support the National Theme?
A theme unifies each year's campaign and helps to broadcast one message, creating a tipping point to change behavior.
Wear Red on Friday, Oct 30th to show your support for Red Ribbon week!

COVID REPORTING PORTAL
As students in Fulton County Schools (FCS) have begun returning to face-to-face instruction, a number of changes were implemented to ensure the health and safety of students, staff, and visitors. Among the most vital of these changes is the development and introduction of a new electronic FCS COVID-19 Reporting Portal for parents (and students). This electronic reporting process will allow for a more direct reaction from primarily the Fulton County Board of Health (FCBOH) with support from FCS to promptly respond and address student/family cases of COVID-19.

Milton Cross Country Teams Qualify for State Meet
The Milton cross country teams travelled to the friendly confines of Boling Park in Canton this past Saturday and came away with three team titles on the way to qualifying both the boys & girls varsity teams to the GHSA state championship meet.
VARSITY BOYS
The 8th ranked Eagles made easy work of the 6-team field to qualify for the state meet for the 12th consecutive season. Milton (1st-34 pts) turned back 5 schools to easily capture the Region 5-7A title. Senior Hayden Marshall (1st-15:47) took the lead near the ¾ mile mark and went on to become region champion besting senior teammate Jack Petkash (2nd-16:10) who led early and then came back to get the runner-up spot. Joining them on the all-region team and individually qualifying for the state meet was fellow senior Connor Brunson (5th-16:18) who was in the top-5 the entire race. Junior Dylan Bowden (12th-16:56) ran an impressive race and brought along sophomore Cory Chambers (14th-17:04) to a new personal best. Personal bests were also recorded by senior co-captain Lorin Tady (19th-17:08) and freshman Zach Patel (21st-17:15) to bring home the region championship.
VARSITY GIRLS
The Lady Eagles faced a tough challenge and rose to the occasion and qualified for the state meet for the 17th time in the last 19 years! Milton (3rd-62 points) gave 5th ranked Etowah (1st-40 pts) all they could handle. Arch-rival Roswell (2nd-61 pts) edged the Lady Eagles even after Milton had 6 finishers before the Hornets 4th finisher. Upfront freshman Ella Grace Malcom (8th-20:03) ran to a personal best to lead the Lady Eagles. Senior co-captain Audrey Nichols (9th-20:03) was next and was closely followed by sophomore Farrah Frith (14th-20:20), freshman Calista Cacciatore (15th-20:23) & junior Ellie Dickenson (16th-20:24) all in personal best performances. Closing out Milton's state qualifying effort was junior Jessica Albregts (19th-20:43) tying her personal best.
