❤️ Red Ribbon Week is next week, October 26-30! ❤️
Join us for a week of fun dress-up days as we spread an important message about making healthy choices and staying drug-free.
📌 Be sure to check the dress-up day schedule, especially Wednesday, when the campuses will have slightly different themes!
Red Ribbon Week is a great opportunity for schools, families, and our community to work together to educate our children about the dangers of drug abuse, including prescription drug misuse, and encourage them to make healthy choices that will last a lifetime.
Safe gun storage saves lives. Take a few minutes after each hunt to secure your firearms and ammunition. These simple steps can help protect our children.
Alto Elementary students learn by doing, exploring, creating, and discovering!
When stress shows up, what does your teen reach for?
The coping skills they build today can shape the choices they make tomorrow, especially when substances become part of the conversation. Talk with your teen about simple, healthy coping strategies:
🏈 Try the 4-7-8 breathing technique: inhale for 4, hold for 7, exhale for 8. It helps calm the nervous system and create space before reacting.
🚶 Get moving with a walk, stretching, or shooting hoops.
🎵 Express emotions through music, art, or creative activities.
📝 Journal thoughts and feelings to work through challenges.
And then, practice together. Teens learn more from what we do than what we say. By modeling healthy ways to handle stress, you're helping build resilience and strengthening their defense against risky behaviors.
Visit angelinacoalition.org/resources to access the Prevention Playbook for Parents, available in English and Spanish, with practical tips and tools to help families support healthy decision-making and reduce risk.

Our fourth graders had a great time learning all about agriculture at Ag Day yesterday! 🌾🐝
They visited with farmers and ranchers, beekeepers, dairymen, Forest Service firefighters, and many others who shared their knowledge and experiences. Our students especially enjoyed the hands-on activities and getting to learn more about the many ways agriculture impacts our community.
What a fun day of learning! 💛🖤

Mr. Francisco thought the benches at Alto Elementary School would be even nicer with cushions—so he made them himself! These custom cushions feature piping and yellowjacket accents, and they turned out great. We had no idea we had such a talented craftsman at AES! 🐝
Thank you, Mr. Francisco, for making our school a little more comfortable and a lot more special!
