This week, we’re celebrating Red Ribbon Week with fun dress-up days and activities that remind us to make healthy, positive choices. 💪
Check out the theme for each day in the image below and join the fun!
👻 Halloween Costumes:
Students may wear costumes to school on Thursday, October 30, as long as they can comfortably sit and participate in class. Please remember:
🚫 No weapons
🚫 No full-face coverings or masks
🚫 No depictions of blood or violence
If a costume is not school-appropriate, students will be asked to change.
Let’s show our Warrior pride and commitment to being Drug Free! 💙💛 #WarriorWay #RedRibbonWeek #WarriorStrong
Last week, our 7th grade Health classes had an incredible opportunity to learn from real-life emergency professionals! Minidoka Memorial’s Ambulance staff kicked things off by teaching students first aid skills. The next day, students got to explore emergency response up close — with visits from the West End Fire Department, Minidoka Memorial Ambulance, and even a Life Flight helicopter landing right here at school! 🚁
Students learned how each of these teams helps save lives and work together in emergencies. What an exciting and unforgettable experience for our Warriors! 💙💛 #WarriorWay #CareerExploration #HandsOnLearning #WarriorStrong
