During the week of October 26th - 30th, our school is celebrating Red Ribbon Week! For our kindergartners, this week is all about making healthy choices and taking care of our bodies.
Throughout the week, we’ll be talking about simple, positive ways to stay healthy—like eating good foods, getting plenty of sleep, exercising, and learning that we should accept help from trusted adults.
We’ll have fun dress-up days and hands-on activities to help these important lessons stick. Thank you for partnering with us to help our little learners make healthy choices.
