Oct. 23-27th Red Ribbon Week
Today begins our annual celebration of Red Ribbon Week. Each year, usually during the last full week in October, BCISD schools and communities across America celebrate Red Ribbon Week. Many years ago, Special Agent Camarena gave his life trying to stop the spread of drugs. People wear red to remember his hard work in the fight against drugs and continue to help Americans make healthy, good choices. Your child received a "I pledge to be drug free" bracelet today for this occasion.
This celebration gives our students and families an opportunity to focus on healthy living and to learn about the dangers of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, especially to young growing bodies and minds. Every day our students are confronted with choices from the moment they wake up until they go to bed at night. Some choices are easy, but others can be tough. Some choices may seem unimportant at the time, but even small choices can end up affecting lives forever. Please take this opportunity to talk with your child about the importance of making healthy choices today and everyday!
Costume / Halloween Parade
RJ is excited to celebrate with our students with a school-wide costume parade on Tuesday, October 31st @ 8:30AM, weather permitting.
Our parade will begin at 8:30 and all students will line up with their homeroom classes and parade through the campus front circle of the school for a costume parade.
- Parents are invited to attend the parade by lining our front circle drive as each student and class will walk through.
- All parent vehicles should be parked in a designated parking space to attend the event and parents will line the circle drive in designated places to cheer on their student in costume.
- *Please see Costume Guidelines in flyer coming home in take-home folders and pictured here.
