Gorzcyki students are getting ready for Red Ribbon Week 2015-this year's theme is:  Respect Yourself.  Be Drug Free.  At school, students will engage in activities which have been designed by the Student Leadership Group that promote a drug free and healthy lifestyle such as signing a drug free compact and decorating their classroom doors.  In recognition of this event, Tuesday is Gorzycki Spirit Day so wear a GMS t-shirt.  Wednesday is wear red. Thursday is crazy sock day and Friday is costume day.  (Please make sure the dress code is followed.)

Did you know that children of parents who talk to their teens regularly about drugs are 42% less likely to use drugs than those who don't.  Please partner with us and discuss this message at home, at the dinner table or at family outings.  Ask your student to show you the flyer he/she received at school about Red Ribbon Week or visit www.redribbon.org to learn more about Red Ribbon Week and get tips for talking to your children about drugs. 

Stay dry this weekend!
