Red Ribbon Week is next week!

Lago Vista ISD’s Viking Character Trait for the month of October’s is Respect! As a part of our character education activities for October, Lago Vista ISD participates in the national Red Ribbon Campaign. Red Ribbon Week is the largest drug prevention campaign in the nation. It is an ideal way for our schools and community to unite and take a visible stand against drugs.

We encourage students to pledge to respect themselves by being drug free and by making healthy choices in life. All students and staff are invited to show their personal commitment to a drug free lifestyle by participating in our 2017 Red Ribbon Week activities:

Thanks for your help in making this a fun week to celebrate our healthy choices!

Thank you so much for getting those box tops submitted to your child's teacher!

Mrs. Bell will be spending the weekend counting and grouping all of the box tops that were collected during our campaign. The homeroom, in each grade level, with the highest number of Box Tops collected will get a prize for each student to take home with them. Winning classes will be announced in the October 27th Newsletter. Also, the class (in each grade level) that raises the most box tops will receive a portion of the total amount raised back to their homeroom teacher for supplemental supply purchases.

We have had an amazing return on this fundraiser so far. Keep those donations coming! Remember, 100% of this fundraiser go directly to improving the education of the students at Lago Vista Intermediate School. No amount is too small. We will be closing the fundraiser the Friday, November 17th before Thanksgiving break.
