Character Counts!/Red Ribbon Week begins on Monday. We will show our spirit by dedicating each day to a character trait and choosing to lead a healthy life.
MONDAY: Character Trait – Trustworthiness (Represented by the color blue)
· Be “true blue” to yourself and show good character by wearing your favorite blue color or denim to school!
· Every student will receive a red ribbon, compliments of PTA, to wear each day!
See the rest of the week’s activities in the email or look out for details on Peachjar. :
TUESDAY : Character Traits – Respect & Responsibility (Represented by the colors yellow and green)
· You can’t “hide” good character! Dress in all one color or wear camouflage print.
· Show your gratitude by telling at least one person who works at the school, "Thank you for all that you do!"
· We take responsibility for our planet! Bring a clean, recyclable item for our Recycle Drive. Collection bins will be at the front gate.
WEDNESDAY: Character Trait – Fairness (Represented by the color orange)
· “Team up for a Healthy Life: Play fair on and off the field. We say no to drugs!” – Show your support by wearing your favorite sports team logo or team colors and sharing high fives with your friends!
THURSDAY: Character Trait – Caring (Represented by the color red)
· Red Rally Day! – Everyone wears red! Let’s show how much we care about our community by bringing a pair of new fuzzy socks or a wrapped tasty snack to donate for our Otter Outreach Socks & Snacks Drive for Aurora Hospital! Collection boxes will be at the front gate.
FRIDAY: Character Trait – Citizenship (Represented by purple)
· Pillar Friday: “The world is a rainbow of character colors! We won’t forget to use our heads - not drugs!” Each grade will wear their designated color (see below) and make their hair as crazy as possible!
