Spirit Week

Next week is our Red Ribbon Week. Red Ribbon Week is an alcohol and drug prevention awareness campaign. Its goal is to educate kids and encourage participation in drug prevention activities. Next week we have several days where students have the option of dressing up.

The days are:
Monday: "Put a Cap on Drugs" Wear a cap or hat.
Tuesday: "Living Without Drugs is No Sweat!" Wear sweatpants or warm-ups.
Wednesday: Red Ribbon Spirit Day. Wear Red!

Remember, there is NO school on Thursday and Friday. Because this is a short week, there won't be a regular spelling list.

Laps For Linwood

We had our jog-a-thon last week! We ran for 20 minutes in the morning... when it was still pretty cloudy and chilly! We were troopers, however, and we did a great job! Yay us! =)

We started out with a warm up. The Milwaukie police chief led us in a few exercises.

Our amazing PTA had encouraging messages all along the track to cheer us on.

It was HARD work!

I'm so proud of our class! We ran - or walked - without stopping, and never complained! All of the money that we raised today will pay for new technology, field trips, or other things for our school.

Thank you for supporting us!
