Respect Week & Red Ribbon Week
During the month of October, we will continue our focus on good character. Our October character education theme is Respect. The State of NJ recognizes the first week of October as Respect Awareness Week. During this week, we will be encouraging students to think about ways they can show respect to various people, places, and things. Our SEL lessons will begin the unit on Courage; focusing on how to stand up for ourselves and others. This pairs perfectly with Respect Week. Please join us as the lower elementary schools join together to kick off Respect through short stories (LINK).
The week of October 25th-29th is Red Ribbon Week which promotes drug awareness. During this week we don't specifically discuss drug awareness but rather focus on making good/healthy choices. Below you will find several spirit activities planned to promote character and awareness. We hope your child will participate in the fun.
