Hello parents and students,
The week of October 26 - 29th is Red Ribbon week. It is a week to remind students about making healthy choices, including the decision to stay drug free, so that each student might reach his or her full potential.
Fun things tend to make an impression, so it will be a week of dressing up!
Monday - Super Hero Day - You have the Power to say No! Dress up as your favorite cartoon or movie super hero.
Tuesday - Top to Toe Tuesday - Be drug free from head to toe! Dress up in a favorite cap/hat or crazy hair PLUS mismatched shoes and socks.
Wednesday - Real Life Hero Day - Each person makes a difference! Dress up as a real life personal hero, historical figure or community helper.
Thursday - Halloween Pep Rally Theme - Say BOO to drugs!
Please remember the following when creating outfits:
Must follow guidelines of the CISD Student Dress Code.
No masks or face coverings.
Nothing bloody, gory or scary.
No weapons of any kind, real or toy.
Face paint is acceptable.
