Successful Red Ribbon Week

Another year of Red Ribbon Week is in the books.  It was very successful as we had lots of good guest speakers in this past week to reinforce the idea of making positive choices in life and the many other things you can do to stay away from harmful drugs & activities as well as dealing with peer pressure.   We had students from Skyview & Senior High as well as DEA agent Dunlap.  As they all said, it is never too young to start hearing about how choices now can affect your life & decisions you make later.  Below are a few pics from the week.  I hope you had some good discussions at home and if you did, write RRW in the planner for free money.
Speaking of free money, the quarter came to a close so now the students will spend their free money on Friday and start over with fresh, new money.
Pumpkin Patch Party-hopefully many of you went and had tons of fun.  If you and your child went, write pumpkin  patch party in the planner.
This week is conferences week.  Thank you to all of you who returned your slips for times.  If you didn't, I assigned you a time so hopefully you can make it.  If not, call the school and let Christy know.
Remember Dismissal times are at 12:00 noon on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
No spelling list this week due to early out and our reading block is in the afternoon.
We are hoping to finish our NE tour this week so make sure you are studying states & capitals as well as location because the test will be sometime next week.
Congratulations to Jerzie, our Purple Hand Winner.  She was nominated by her peers for her kind, caring, helpful ways as well as being a great friend always wanting to include others.
Also, we have had lots of students get recognized by myself or other adults in the building for following the school rules & guidelines for success.  They have gotten their name on the Principal 200 board and are part of the club.  Congratulations and keep it up.  Let's hope all of Team Hankins will be part of it as the year progresses.
Have a great rest of the weekend.
