Red Ribbon Week: October 19–22

MGE PTA invites all students to participate in Red Ribbon Week as we celebrate healthy choices with the theme “Make a Difference. Be a Hero. Stay Drug Free!” Students can earn points for their house by joining each day’s dress-up theme: wear red on Monday, a favorite hat on Tuesday, pajamas or comfy clothes on Wednesday, and a favorite sports or football shirt on Thursday. Please see the attached flyer for full details.

Families are also invited to complete the “Our Dreams Are Worth Protecting” activity at home. Have your child write or draw a dream they have for their future inside the star, add their name and teacher, and return the completed page to school by October 14th. The pages will become part of a special school display celebrating our students’ hopes, goals, and bright futures.
