During our last session of T.G.F.D., Deputy Seward played a game to review all of the information learned during the program. All students have written their Promise Letters. I look forward to reading these and choosing one to be read at the graduation ceremony. Your child should have given you a copy of the letter as a formal promise to make good decisions and stay drug-free.
Save the Date: Too Good For Drugs Graduation will be Wednesday, March 23rd at 1:30 p.m.
*If you did not already donate $1 toward Deputy Seward's thank you gift, please send to school as soon as possible!
