Dates to remember:

·Mrs. Vukmanic is still collecting Styrofoam egg cartons and Mrs. Hall is collecting toilet paper tubes for hands-on student activities; feel free to drop these off in the office or hand these items to the ladies on the car loop.

·October is Bully Prevention Month and here’s what we have planned so far:

o   Oct. 23 is UPstander Day (Nationwide Unity Day) -- Students can come to school dressed as a UPstander (someone that stands up for others/a super hero)

o   Motivational Mondays -- Let’s combat the Monday Blahs by motivating each other by wearing motivational shirts every Monday to spread kindness and remind everyone how amazing they are.
