FROM MRS. MUNSON

            In honor of Red Ribbon week, students have been learning about making healthy choices. Last week and this week during classroom lessons students tied their red ribbons to our school fence while making a pledge to stay healthy and make smart choices for their bodies and futures. Thank you to our wonderful PTA for providing and cutting all the red ribbons for all our students! And thank you to the Camanche-DeWitt Coalition for purchasing color changing cups for our students, as a reminder of this year’s theme: “Life is a Movie. Film Drug Free”. If you get a chance, drive by our school fence to see all their red ribbons!
