and 1:1 Meetings
I am excited to meet with each student on campus through individual meetings this year! This is a special time for students to tell me about themselves, their strengths, and their goals for the future. In our classroom guidance lessons we will continue growing in our Great 8 Social & Emotional Learning Skills, especially in the areas of optimistic thinking, self management, goal directed behavior, and relationship skills.
It is going to be a great year here at Deerwood!

Red Ribbon Week
October 25-29
The Red Ribbon became a symbol for drug prevention in 1985, in response to the murder of DEA Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena. Informed Families started the first county-wide Red Ribbon campaign in 1986. In 1988, NFP sponsored the first National Red Ribbon Week® celebration. Today, the Red Ribbon serves as a catalyst to mobilize communities to educate youth and encourage participation in drug prevention activities. Since that time, the campaign has reached millions of U.S. children and families.
