Red Ribbon Week : October 28-November 1
The 2019 National Red Ribbon Week theme is: Send a Message. Stay Drug Free.™
The theme is a call to action to speak out in support of healthy choices. The theme is also a reminder that by staying drug free, you are sending a message to yourself and others about how much you value yourself, your overall health, your community and your future.
At Fanning, we will kick off our Red Ribbon Week on Friday October 25th with a visit from Brea Police Department. The following week, we have spirit dress up days and mini lessons/class activities throughout the week.
Turkey Trot
For our Turkey Trot this year, we’re using PledgeStar, a secure web-based pledge system that makes it easy for you to make pledges and request pledges from family and friends anywhere.
Our Turkey Trot is November 21, so please register now to help Fanning Academy of Science and Technology PTA raise funds for Reading, Art, Music, Science, and Social Studies programs, as well as educational Field Trips.
- Go to https://pledgestar.com/fanning
- Click “Not Registered For This Year’s Event”
- Enter your name and email address, then click “Submit”
- Follow the on-screen instructions to register your kids
When you finish, the system emails pledge requests to the family and friends that you entered, allowing them to make secure credit card donations online. You will get notified each time a pledge is made and you can track your kids’ pledge progress.
Turkey Trot Top 5 Classes
We will be celebrating Halloween on Thursday, October 31st. Students are allowed to dress in costumes. Costumes should always follow our school dress code and be appropriate for elementary age students from ages 4 to 12.
Costumes should not depict or suggest violence. Masks, hair color, or makeup that cover the face are NOT allowed. Parents may be called to bring appropriate clothing or to remove makeup.
