Red Ribbon Week

October 21-31 Texas will celebrate "Red Ribbon Week".  According to the website http://drugfreetexas.org/red-ribbon/ 

"Red Ribbon is a national event honoring Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, a Drug Enforcement Administration special agent who was killed in 1985 by drug traffickers. Soon after, “Camarena Clubs” were launched in high schools in California, and hundreds of students pledged to lead drug-free lives. Two club members presented the “Camarena Club Proclamation” to then first lady Nancy Reagan, bringing it national attention. Parent groups embraced the campaign, and in 1988, Congress proclaimed the first U.S. Red Ribbon Campaign. The Texas Department of State Health Services, along with others, provides resources to ensure the continuation of the Red Ribbon Campaign in Texas and to support the hopes and beliefs that fuel the grassroots effort to keep children drug-free"

Bishop Primary in Bishop, Texas will also recognize this effort as well. The following is a list of activites that the childern can do this week and next week.

Mystery of the Lawn Mower

Just a quick note to say a public THANK-YOU to the mystery person(s) who mowed our front lawn yesterday. It was so nice! Our lawn mower had just broke and with all of the rain we had this past week our yard was looking bad. THANK-YOU for coming to our rescue! We may not find out who did this for us but I can now truly say that Kingsville is a community that cares.

THANK-YOU! THANK-YOU! THANK-YOU!
