During Red Ribbon Week, we reflect on the fact that living drug-free is about making choices that help us grow, learn, and thrive. Substance abuse can harm the brain, slow learning, and negatively impact relationships.

Emotional Intelligence Awareness Month reminds us that understanding our emotions is key to strong relationships and a healthy mindset. Encourage students to name their feelings and express them in positive ways! 😀
Consistent attendance matters! 📚
Chronic absenteeism isn’t just missing school—it’s missing out on learning. Students who are chronically absent are more likely to experience lower academic performance, higher dropout rates, and long-term disengagement.
Let’s work together to help our students show up, stay engaged, and succeed. Every day counts! 💪🎒
