Red Ribbon Week

Every year the students of the Holbrook Unified School District take time out of their schedules to discuss something VERY IMPORTANT to their future and their health. Doing drugs is something that kids feel pressure about from a very young age. They might be exposed to it at home, in film or movies, in lyrics, or even in school. "Just say no" is really as easy as it sounds. Saying no to drugs will keep you on the right path to high school, future plans, family, etc.

We have all heard stories about how drugs can wreck your life. The best decision you can make is to never start!!!

To celebrate our goal to be drug free, each day we decided to approach it with some aggressive slogans!

On Monday, we decided to "Stick Together as a TEAM and Say NO to Drugs!"
Kids were asked to wear team jerseys or shirts to show how drugs can affect their dreams of becoming NFL, NBA/WNBA, MLB, MLS, or NHL players!

On Tuesday, we approached the topic of drugs by talking about our favorite superheroes and characters. Just like you would NEVER see Captain America or Minnie Mouse doing drugs, kids are SUPER too!!! Don't put that EVIL VILLAIN (DRUGS) into your system!!!!!

On Wednesday, we had a chance to PAINT HOLBROOK RED! We walked through the streets of Holbrook PROUD to be drug free. It's not a bad thing to be drug free. BE PROUD of your choices and CHOOSE TO BE DRUG FREE!

On Thursday, we wanted to be a 'jean'ius! Doing drugs can impact your school work, your future job choices, and is overall an unwise decision! Be a 'JEAN'IUS! Don't do drugs!

Friday is CRAZY HAIR DAY! This is just to show how RIDICULOUS drugs are!! BE DRUG FREE!! JUST SAY NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Popcorn/Movie Friday!

After reading 240 pages of Louis Sachar's novel, Holes, students have been given a chance to watch the movie. Out of all the book adaptations, the movie Holes is definitely the best movie version. That's why our Students of the Month decided to make that our reward today! But what we didn't know was that Kalub was making popcorn for all the students!!!! This wasn't your ordinary microwavable popcorn, but the delicious homemade kind out of an old fashioned popcorn maker!!

Thanks Kalub and Ms. Maestas! You rock!!!
