Parents,
Red Ribbon week is only two weeks away. Please join NOMS and NOMS PTSA as we celebrate making healthy choices during Red Ribbon Week!!

Monday, Oct. 27~“Too Smart to Start!! “Which students will have the lucky numbers on their “Drug Free” pencils to win prizes given through out the day??

Tuesday, Oct.28~ “Don’t get STUCK on Drugs!!” Sign the drug free pledge and guess how many SMARTies candies are in the jar and win a jar of glue sticks for your target teacher!! (And SMARTies for the student!) Every guess will be entered in a drawing for prizes through out the day!

Wednesday, Oct. 29~ “We CAN be Drug Free!” How many CANNED goods CAN we collect for our community Harvest Food Bank or Dare to Care! Please have your son or daughter bring in a CANNED food item to contribute to the food drive. Every participant will be entered in prize drawings through out the day~ AND do something good for our community!

Thursday, Oct. 30~“ Our Lungs Are MINT for Breathing!” Correctly guess the number of Mints and win them for your Target class! All participants will be entered into drawings through out the day for additional prizes!

Friday, Oct. 31~Red Ribbon Ceremony~ Students and Staff are all invited to wear RED!! There will be entertainment and the winners of the team door-decorating contest will be announced at the assembly~


This is an important week to remind students not only to be DRUG FREE, SMOKE FREE, and ALCOHOL FREE!! But also NOT TO GIVE IN TO PEER PRESSURE, DON'T DO IT!!! As parents we are sometimes timid to approach these subjects, this is an opportunity to speak freely with your child and empower them to not enter into the temptations. Come up with a plan of what to say.

Encourage all students to participate this week and to talk about MAKING GOOD CHOICES -
AVOIDING DRUGS OR ALCOHOL!!!
