Red Ribbon Week
Did you know? 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, the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the nation, is a great opportunity to get the ongoing conversation started. 

This year's theme is YOLO. Be Drug Free.  Visit www.redribbon.org to learn more about Red Ribbon Week and get tips for talking to you kids about drugs.  The life you save may be that of your own child or a dear friend.


Red Ribbon Dress Schedule:
Monday - Red Out: Students are invited to wear red shirts with uniform bottoms.
Tuesday - Blue Out: Students are invited to wear a royal blue shirt with uniform bottoms.
Wednesday - Funny Socks: Students are invited to wear funny, crazy, unusual, or colorful socks. And why not bring a new pair of socks for the #socktober sock drive for the homeless?
Thursday - Weird Hat Day: Students are invited to wear an unsual hat. No masks, and the face may not be covered.
Friday - Team Jersey Day: Students are invited to wear a jersey or t-shirt from their favorite team.


Homecoming Pep Rally
On Tuesday we will celebrate our Charger Community during an afternoon pep rally.  The schedule will be slightly different.  It will be very difficult to pick up students early once the pep rally begins.  If you need to pick up your child early, please do so during the scheduled 8th period.  

Several groups will be performing at the Pep Rally.  To ensure a safe school wide pep rally, we will not be able to accept guests at the pep rally.  Please join us at the Homecoming Football Game at Delmar Stadium at 7:00 p.m.
