๐Ÿ“ข Parents! Red Ribbon Week isnโ€™t just about dressing up and theme days, itโ€™s a chance for you to talk to your kids about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. Believe it or not, YOU have a significant influence in your childrenโ€™s decision to use alcohol and other drugs. It may not seem like it, but students DO listen ๐Ÿ‘‚ when their parents talk about underage drinking and substance use.

The Drug-Free Council program is funded by a grant from TxDOT to reduce the number of alcohol-related crashes in Texas. #TalkTheyHearYou

๐ŸงŸโ€โ™€๏ธ Zombie Survival in RLA! ๐Ÿง โœ๏ธ
It was no ordinary day in Mrs. Parkerโ€™s RLA class! Students walked in to find a skeleton waiting for themโ€”and a warning that zombies were nearby! ๐ŸงŸโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Each student received a color-coded card that determined their base, role, resources, and special advantages or disadvantage. After teaming up, groups created survival maps complete with legends and detailed written plans for how to outlast the zombie invasion.

The fun activity had a serious purpose: students demonstrated their understanding of sentence fluency by crafting clear, varied sentences in their survival plans. Great work, Mrs. Parkerโ€™s classโ€”way to make learning come alive! ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ“š
