Red Ribbon Week was a success. Mrs. Allen's first grade class won Red, White, and Blue Day; Mrs. Wimberg's fourth grade class won Team Jersey Day; Mrs. McNamara's third grade class won Crazy Sock Day, with 100% participation; Mrs. Allen's first grade class won Crazy Hair Day; and Mr. Berger's seventh grade class won Twin Day. Students in grades 4 - 8 had fun at the dance celebrating the close of Red Ribbon Week. We exceeded our goal for the food drive, 350 items were collected for the two area food shelves, Ascutney and Perkinsville. Thank you to everyone who participated.
Last week WeKAT members were busy making Quit Kits for the Great American Smokeout, which is on Thursday, November, 18th. |
