Hello LVES Families! During our class guidance lessons about Respect this month, students are also learning about Red Ribbon Week and the importance of being drug-free. They are understanding that when we help ourselves and other people, we are showing them that we care about them, and respect them. Students are understanding the value of respecting our bodies and brains, making good choices, being kind to our friends, and not hurting people’s feelings.

Mon. “You’d Be Crazy to do Drugs”- Wear crazy hair, socks, & outfits! (No hats, please)
Tues. “Lei Off Drugs!”- Wear a lei and/or Hawaiian attire!
Wed. “We’re REaDy to Be Drug Free!”- Wear red for the Red Ribbon Pledge Signing!
Thur. “We are Too Bright to do Drugs!”- Wear bright or neon colors!

Hola familias de LVES! Durante nuestras lecciones de orientación de clase sobre Respeto este mes, los estudiantes también están aprendiendo sobre la Semana del Listón Rojo y la importancia de estar libre de drogas. Entienden que cuando nos ayudamos a nosotros mismos y a otras personas, les estamos demostrando que nos preocupamos por ellos y que los respetamos. Los estudiantes comprenden el valor de respetar nuestros cuerpos y cerebros, tomar buenas decisiones, ser amables con nuestros amigos y no herir los sentimientos de las personas.
Nuestros temas de la Semana del Listón Rojo a partir del lunes 22 de octubre son:
Lun. "Estarías loco por consumir drogas": ¡usa cabello, calcetines y atuendos locos! (Sin sombreros, por favor)
Martes "Lei Off Drugs!" - ¡Lleve un lei y / o atuendo hawaiano!
Mie. “¡Estamos preparados para estar libres de drogas!” - ¡Vístase de rojo para la Firma de Compromiso de la Cinta Roja!
Jueves “¡Somos demasiado brillantes para hacer drogas!” - ¡Use colores brillantes o de neón!
Vie. “¡Equipo contra las drogas!” - ¡Lleve su ropa de espíritu vikingo azul y dorado!
"El respeto por nosotros mismos guía nuestra moral, y el respeto por los demás guía nuestros modales.” ~Laurence Sterne
