PARENT INFORMATION
RED RIBBON WEEK
Red Ribbon Week is one of the oldest and largest drug prevention campaigns in
our country. By celebrating this event, we have the opportunity to take a
stand for the hopes and dreams of our children through a commitment to drug
prevention and education and a personal commitment by them to live a drug free
life. Red Ribbon Week also commemorates the ultimate sacrifice of DEA
Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, who died at the hands of drug traffickers
in Mexico while fighting the battle against illegal drugs to keep our country
and children safe.
At HPMS we expand this commitment to be drug, alcohol, and tobacco free.
Our week consists of a Kick-off Assembly on Monday, door decorating
competitions, signing pledge cards during lunches, red ribbon games during lunch
on Wednesday, and wearing red on Friday. Our theme this year is “Celebrate
Life.”
COOKIE DOUGH PICKUP
Orders are available for pickup THIS THURSDAY between 3 and 6P in the HP
Commons. Please be prepared to pick up orders at this time. If you
are unable to pickup orders on this day, please make arrangements with someone

BULLYING PRESENTATIONS

graders during their Math class on Friday.

October is Teen Read Month and the Mukilteo Library is celebrating the national theme of “Read Beyond Reality” with a Liar’s Party and a visit from a palm reader! Teens and adults are invited to meet author Justine Larbalestier at our Liar’s Party to celebrate her new book Liar, a psychological thriller narrated by a compulsive liar. Dress up as someone else and be prepared to tell your best whoppers! Mocktails and finger foods will be served. Books will be available for purchase and autographing by the author. The party begins at 4P on today, October 19th.
