I am attaching the dress up days beginning Monday, Oct. 27^th for Red Ribbon Week.  All teachers will receive a colored copy of the dress up days to hang in your classroom.  Please start making these announcements as early as this afternoon to give notice to the students of what is to come next week!  I will also be sending a note home to communicate the week’s excitement with parents.

Pat thought that the original plan of 9:05 for the first assembly would be too soon…so we are going to move the start time
to 9:10-10:00 for 3^rd-5^th grade and 10:10-11:00 for BK-2^nd grade.
At the end of the assembly, please expect to receive some hand outs.  First of all, the magician will be handing out order forms that need to be returned by the next day.  This is how he can offer his services free to us!  However, ordering is not required.

Please remember that the magician will be passing out order forms for students to purchase a magic wand or magic book if they would like to.  Each item is only $5 and he will need the students to return the order form the very next day with $.

On your way out, you will be handed Red Ribbon pencils to hand out to every student in your classroom.  This will help promote the excitement of the week and also give them an extra pencil…I’m sure that is always a plus.  (Thanks Pat!)

The special teachers have graciously helped out with activities in their rooms this year, so I did not think it was necessary to ask the classroom teacher to do any extra red ribbon activity in your classroom except for help promote the dress up days and the excitement for the contest..
Beth Foster had some of her classes make beautiful posters that will be put up in the hallway starting today at 5^th grade recess!
Angi is working on a red ribbon theme activity for a PE class!
Patty Heintzelman is teaching the 4^th/5^th grade classes a Red Ribbon song with instruments!

Thanks for all that the specials teachers are doing to help support Red Ribbon Week !

Yes, the contest…there will be a drawing on Thursday PM and the top three classrooms that are drawn (based on daily participation in dress up days) will be given a small prize to every student in the class.
