RED RIBBON WEEK

RED RIBBON WEEK

Healthy Living and Making Good Choices!!
OCTOBER 21-25

Every October more than 80 million young people and adults show their commitment to a healthy lifestyle by wearing or displaying a
red ribbon. Once again this year, the Holmdel Drug and Alcohol Alliance will be sponsoring activities for Red Ribbon Week. At Village School, we have organized activities that stress the
importance of healthy living and making good choices along with the “Bee” A Bucket Filler NOT A Bully Campaign. We look forward to your child’s participation and we encourage you, as parents,
to help us build healthy and safe futures for our children.
Tuesday, October 15 – Show Good Character coloring page
Your child will come home with a coloring page. Please have your child write/draw “their favorite character” doing or eating something healthy.
Please return the coloring page to school by Friday, October 18th. They will be displayed throughout the school.
Monday, October 21 – HEALTHY LIVING MAKES CENTS
WEAR YOUR FAVORITE TEAM JERSEY/SHIRT to TEAM UP AGAINST BULLIES as the grades compete in change wars! In the lunch room there will be a coin jar for each grade to receive donations for the CAP (Child Assault Program) initiative. We invite your children to donate coins to this wonderful program sponsored by the Holmdel Drug and Alcohol Alliance. The CAP program is a statewide community based prevention program. “All children deserve to be safe, strong and free.” The program seeks to reduce children’s vulnerability to abuse, neglect and bullying by providing prevention workshops for the students. Kindergartners will have donation jars in their classrooms and coin jars will be available for the entire week.
