Terra Novas, Red Ribbons, and Halloween...Oh My!
We had an exciting week, and another one is on the way! Mr. Barzan came in for a visit today to share the activities we are looking forward to for a great Red Ribbon Week. The schedule of events can be found in our Friday folders today. On Monday, we'll kick it off with "Wear RED Day." Our red will symbolize the red ribbon theme, and we will receive a red ribbon and pencil on Monday. Special days are planned, along with special activities.
Mr. Barzan also shared a video about drug abuse. Each student interviewed talked about being asked to do drugs and why they said no. They were great role models for us, and each shared what their "natural high" is. Our natural highs are very important to us, and doing drugs could ruin those highs. So, we're ready to celebrate Red Ribbon Week.
Terra Nova tests begin on Monday. For our team, the tests will be over on Wednesday. Please remember to get a good night's sleep on Sunday night, and eat a nutritious breakfast on Monday morning so that your brain is in top form.
Halloween will be celebrated on Friday as part of Red Ribbon Week. "Don't be tricked - Drugs are NO Treat" will be the theme of the day. Students are invited to wear their Halloween costumes to school! It should be spooktacular fun!
We wrapped up The Westing Game today in McD's Cafe! Wow! We were surprised by some of the events at the end! On Monday, we'll take our end-of-book test. Then, we'll be ready to compare the story to a movie based on the novel - Get A Clue. Thanks to Sydney and Maria, as well as their parents, for the delicious drinks for cafe today.
