Red Ribbon Week

CMS is celebrating Red Ribbon Week from October 28-November 1.  This week-long initiative is an opportunity to show our commitment to drug prevention and education.  We ask each student to make a personal commitment to live drug-free lives.

Students will receive a red bracelet with the message, "One School, One Goal:  Bully and Drug Free" today.  We ask each student to wear it this week and throughout the year to show his/her commitment against the use of drugs and bullying.

I have attached a link that may be useful to use with your child at home: http://redribbon.org/activities/Parents/index.html.

We encourage you to visit with your child about the use of drugs and the importance of drug prevention.  We appreciate your support.

Mix It Up Day

On Thursday, October 17th, students will participate in Mix It Up Day during their lunch periods.

Mix It Up Day is part of the Bullying Prevention Awareness initiative for October.  The purpose of this activity is for students to get to know somebody else within their grade level and to not necessarily sit by the same classmates that they normally sit by.  This activity will allow students to interact with others that they may not visit with on an every-day-basis.
