Tuesday, October 23 from 6-8:00 pm
This month we celebrate Red Ribbon Week to help our children learn
about making healthy choices and living a drug free life.
We have a lot going on during Red Ribbon Week, but Tuesday, October
23th is the BIG Night where we celebrate family and good friends, the
best tools we have against drug abuse.
At Family Fun Night we will be celebrating the 50th Day of School
with a 50's style Sock Hop in the Gym. We have a Bounce House donated
by Kent parent Minerva Gomez. Music will be provided by DJ , Matt
Sharp and our friends from First Choice Emergency Room will be joining
in the fun. So, roll up your jeans or put on your poodle skirt, and
join us in the Bunny Hop!
Bring your picnic dinner to the cafeteria where tables will be set
up for your use; then, join us for BINGO from 6:30 - 7:30. There will
be lots of prizes for the kids.
Thank you to Conway Trucking for our red ribbons!
Going, Going Gone! We are holding our 5th Annual Silent Auction to
benefit the Student Activity Fund. Come prepared to bid on lots of
cool stuff!
And last, but not least, be sure you stop by the Scholastic Book
Fair in the Volunteer Room. We will have a great selection of books to
get your children "Hooked on Books" at the Book Fair Blizzard.
If you are interested in volunteering for any of these activities
or have donations for the Silent Auction or Red Ribbon Week please
