Friday the 26th a busy day!

We will begin our day on October 26 in the classroom wearing our favorite sports team attire to finish Red Ribbon Week. We will then attend the performance of "Great Mountain" at Alberta Bair Theater. We will be leaving right before lunch. If possible, please have your child pack a cold lunch to eat in the classroom for quick departure at 11:50. This performance is a district-provided field trip for all Billings 4th graders. The evening will be completed with the Halloween Family Fun Night here at Arrowhead School. Students can come dressed in their costumes for a fun night of games and treats.

We will have October Spirit Day on October 31st. All students encouraged to wear black and orange. No costumes will be worn to school on Halloween Day. A $1.00 donation for Spirit Day will support our ongoing fund for technology at Arrowhead School.





Donuts for Dads

Please join us for Donuts for Dads on Thursday, October 25th. All male family members are invited to this yummy event. When finished with their donut, students will go outside to the walking circle and wait for the 8:15 bell to ring.

Conferences

Conference slips came home on Wednesday 10/17/12. I scheduled as best as I could to parent preferences. Please let me know if your time will not work for you. We will have half days Wednesay, Thursday, and Friday (10/31, 11/1, 11/2) to accommodate our conferences. I am excited to share our third grade MONTCAS scores and this Fall's NWEA scores.

RED RIBBON WEEK

October 23rd through October 26th is the official 2012 National Red Ribbon Week.

Red Ribbon Week was derived from the memory of a drug enforcement agent who lost his life while attempting to decrease illegal growing and selling of drugs. While his family awaited news of his whereabouts, they displayed or wore a red ribbon to offer hope for his safe return. Although he died in the line of duty, we continue to use the Red Ribbon symbol in October as a reminder of his important mission.

We invite you to join in Red Ribbon Week activities by participating in the following “theme days”. While school children will promote being drug and alcohol free, adults can promote saying no to illegal drugs and using tobacco and alcohol safely, responsibly and legally.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 22nd “No Drugs, No Alcohol…..No Sweat” – Wear sweats

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23rd “Don’t Let Drugs “Tie” You Up – Wear a necktie

WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 24TH: “Sock It To Drugs” – Wear crazy socks

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25TH: “Drugs Stink” – Wear pink

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26TH: “Team Up Against Drugs” – Wear something of
your favorite sports team

Walk to School Day

Our Walk to School Day was cancelled due to inclement weather. It has been rescheduled for October 12th. More details to come.

Just a reminder: students who need to cross 38th street on a daily basis should do so with the crosswalk, instead of on their own in the middle of the street.
