COLOR YOUR WORLD WITH THE ARTS - Family Night
Thursday, February 27 6pm - 7:30pm
Your family is invited to join us for another family engagement event at Olson. We will have a variety of special activities available for families to enjoy together. The activities will showcase some of the things that are done in our art, music, PE, and STEAM classes during the year. Please join us! Each family will be given a wristband to let you know where to start as you move through a series of 5 activities:

- Star Lab (Gym)
- STEAM activities (Library and STEAM Lab)

DARE PROGRAM
The DARE Program Mission is:
“Teaching students good decision-making skills to help them lead safe and healthy lives.”
The updated DARE core curriculum - ‘Keepin’ it REAL,' takes a hands-on, social influence approach that emphasizes and aims to strengthen children’s refusal skills so they can better resist social pressures.
By helping students learn of ways to avoid dangerous situations, recognize and resist direct and subtle pressures that may influence bad choices, and by learning social skills that will help enhance their self-esteem, the students are expected to become the future role models of their schools and neighborhoods.
