| | A Note from Bill and Sarah | | |
October is National Substance Abuse Prevention Month, and thanks to the leadership of Reese, one of our school captains, we are excited to bring Red Ribbon Week back to Bishop Kelly! This week is designed to engage both our students and parents in meaningful substance abuse education and awareness.
Here is a look at what is coming up:
Parent Presentation with "TallCop" | Tuesday, Oct. 27 at 7:00 PM (Cafeteria)
- We strongly encourage all parents to join us for a special presentation by Officer Jermaine Galloway ("TallCop"), a nationally recognized expert in substance abuse trends and prevention. You won't want to miss his practical insights for keeping our teens safe.
Student Assembly | Thursday, Oct. 22
- Our students will attend a morning assembly focused on drug prevention and healthy choices, featuring guest speakers from the Boise Police Department.
Student Activities & Dress-Up Days | Oct. 26–30
- Throughout the week, students will participate in educational activities during House, lunch, and break. To keep students engaged and focused on our theme, we’ll also have themed dress-up days (Wednesday–Friday) with fun prizes!
We are thrilled to bring this impactful tradition back to our school community and look forward to partnering with you to keep our students informed and supported.
God Bless,
| | | |  | |
