BE THE I IN KIND!
Dear Sugar Grove Families, We had a wonderful return from Fall Break! Students seemed refreshed and ready for routine again. We have a fun and informative week next week with our Red Ribbon days. Mrs. Thomson has worked hard to create a great week of learning for our students. Please refer to the attached theme days for what to wear each day. We are still discussing our school theme of “Throw Kindness Around Like Confetti” on a regular basis. This is a great topic to discuss at home as well. Ask your child: Who were you kind to today? Who did something kind for you? What way can you show kindness at school tomorrow? We are recognizing students each week on announcements and our Facebook page who are Kind Kids of the Week. It’s been so fun to watch the kindness spark spread! Sincerely, Mrs. Jessie Hyde, Principal
Red Ribbon Week is October 28th– November 1st Drug-Free Pledge I pledge allegiance to myself and who I want to be, I can make my dreams come true, if I believe in me.

Electronic distribution is environmentally friendly and more convenient for parents, providing them with access to flyers in an online location. Parents are notified via email when new flyers are available. Approval of a flyer does not constitute endorsement by the school corporation.

Sugar Grove Elementary School’s
Red Ribbon Week!
October 28-November 1
Theme: Send a Message. Stay Drug Free.
Red Ribbon Week is the nation’s oldest and largest drug prevention program, reaching millions of
Americans during the last week of October every year. By wearing red ribbons and participating in
community anti-drug events, young people pledge to live a drug-free lifestyle and pay tribute to DEA
Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena. During the week of October 28th, we will have special
activities to educate our students on the importance of making positive choices. On November 7th and
8th, Health Ed Pros will be at Sugar Grove teaching our students about the dangers of drugs.
Monday, October 28th: Proud to be Drug-Free! Wear red clothing. Students will receive a red ribbon to
wear today.
Tuesday, October 29th: Don’t Let Drugs Get in the Way of Your Success! Dress for Success! Wear a fancy
outfit—dresses, ties, etc.
Wednesday, October 30th: Team Up Against Drugs! Wear your favorite sports jersey or shirt. Students
will receive a sticker to wear today.
Thursday, October 31st: Say Boo to Drugs! Dress up in a costume. **No accessories. Ex. wands, swords,
props, etc. No masks, No whole face painted, No weapons.
Friday, November 1st: Journey Over the Hill Drug-Free! Dress like a senior citizen.
**Parents~Red Ribbon Week gives us an opportunity to start or continue the dialogue with children
about the dangers of drug use and abuse. By expressing disapproval of the use of drugs (and better yet,
by promoting healthy lifestyles), parents can significantly reduce the likelihood that their children will
use substances. Furthermore, by sending a consistent message both at school and at home, children are
more likely to actually hear it.
Drug-Free Pledge
I pledge allegiance to myself and who I want to be,
I can make my dreams come true, if I believe in me.
I pledge to stay in school and learn the things I need to know,
To make the world a better place for kids like me to grow.
I pledge to keep my dreams alive and be all that I can be.
I know I can, and that’s because,
I pledge to stay….
DRUG-FREE!
