Too Good For Drugs (TGFD) Program
In session 6 of this program, the students watched a video that illustrated the negative affects of tobacco use. Please ask your child about this video and have them share some of the information learned from it.
Spring Pictures
On Thursday, February 26, all students will be photographed for Spring Pictures. With these pictures, you "look before you buy." When the portrait packages are ready, they will be sent home for review. Then you will decide if you want all, some, or none of the photos. You only pay for the photos you decide to keep. Bring your smile Thursday!
