   To all drivers: We have made great efforts to add parking spots in the school’s
parking lots. Please use them! Residents that live on North View Drive do not receive
  their mail because cars continue to park in front of their mailboxes. Please, if any
other parking spots are available, do not park on the side streets near the school. If
               you have any questions, please contact Eve in the office.
    Students who drive to school and park in the north parking lot: Please drive
    careful while entering the parking lot and be aware of others. We have had
   complaints about students driving too fast in this area. Also there have been
  complaints about students driving recklessly to avoid busses. We value you and
 want to avoid any accidents or tickets. If you have questions, please see Eve.   
Friday, Oct 29 – It’s the last day of Red Ribbon Week and we want to thank you for your
participation in supporting healthy, drug free lifestyles. We hope you’ve really thought about
the meaning of this year’s theme: “Drug Free looks Like Me.” – and how making healthy
choices will help you achieve your goals in life - while having fun in the process. We only
want the best for you and can’t wait to see what you can achieve! Today is the final day of
red ribbon trivia throughout the school. Scan the QR code to answer the question and you
could win a prize and be entered to win a gift card! Thursday winners were Victor Knuppe
and Ethan Wittler. Please stop in the office to claim your prize.

Thursday Trivia Answers:

A combination of factors—genes, environment, and many more—helps determine whether using drugs will
lead to addiction. For example, a person who has depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues might
use drugs to try to feel better. Someone who uses drugs when they’re young has a greater chance of
becoming addicted when they’re older than someone who doesn’t use drugs when they’re young. And
research suggests that as much as half of a person’s risk of becoming addicted to drugs may depend on their
genetic makeup. Read more about the factors that increase the risk of having a problem with drugs:

Heroin is a very addictive drug made from morphine, a psychoactive (mind-altering) substance taken from
the resin of the seed pod of the opium poppy plant. Heroin use and overdose deaths have dramatically
increased over the last decade. Read more about heroin: https://teens.drugabuse.gov/drug-facts/heroin.
