I want to give a Shout Out to our 8th Grade Class. Before Fall Break, the class went on their class trip to Washington D.C. This was a wonderful opportunity for the students and it was an excellent trip. The 8th grade class did a great job in representing St. Anthony School.
Students are getting ready for Red Ribbon Week® 2018 – this year’s theme is: Life Is Your Journey. Travel Drug Free. At school, students will engage in activities that promote a drug free and healthy lifestyle. Children of parents who talk to their teens regularly about drugs are 42% less likely to use drugs than those who don’t; yet, only a quarter of teens report having these conversations. Red Ribbon Week (October 23rd-31st), the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the nation, is your opportunity to get the ongoing conversation started. Visit www.redribbon.org to learn more about Red Ribbon Week and get tips for talking to your kids about drugs. The life you save may be that of your own child or a dear friend.
