Paw Prints Newsletter 10/7

Dear Parents and Families,

As we approach Fall Break, we want to take a moment to thank you for your ongoing support throughout the school year. Your partnership makes all the difference, and we truly appreciate all that you do to help our students thrive.

We hope you have a wonderful and restful Fall Break from October 10th-15th. When we return on October 16th, we’ll be celebrating an exciting milestone – the 50th day of school! We can’t wait to continue this journey with you and your students.

Enjoy the break, and we’ll see you soon!

Sincerely,

Troy Johnson & Kristi Terry

Do you like science?  Do you like to be a member of a team and compete?  If so, applications for the Science Olympiad Club are being accepted.  Our Science Olympiad Team will be chosen from members of our club that show dedication, great teamwork, and skill growth as we practice the events. This club is open to 3rd - 5th graders. Meetings are Tuesdays after school from 2:30 - 3:45. If interested, please ask your homeroom teacher for an application or see Mrs. Goodrick.  Applications are due Oct 18th. Contact Mrs. Goodrick with any questions.

Mark your calendars for Red Ribbon Week!  Red Ribbon Week is a national campaign to teach students about saying no to drugs. This year’s national slogan is, “Life is a movie, film drug free!” At the elementary level, we focus on teaching students to make healthy choices for their bodies and minds, such as eating healthy foods, exercising, and using their voices to advocate for themselves. This year, Red Ribbon Week will be held from October 28th through November 1st. To show our support for Red Ribbon Week, schools across the nation participate in dress-up days. You will find information regarding North Jackson’s dress-up days below. For more information regarding Red Ribbon Week, please visit the organization’s website at www.redribbon.org.
