Unity Day at GES

Wednesday, October 19, 2016 was Unity Day. This day is celebrated nationally to teach students about inclusion, acceptance, and kindness. Glenshire students signed a Unity pledge that became a Unity Chain around the cafeteria. They also wrote positive messages to put up on the positive statement wall. The staff and student body all wore orange, the color that represents Unity.  Glenshire's Safe School Ambassadors planned the special activities for this day and did a wonderful job!

Red Ribbon Week at Glenshire 10/24-10/28

Next week is Red Ribbon Week.  Red Ribbon Week is a national campaign that was started in 1985 in response to a DEA agent's death, who was passionate in his pursuit to rid the United States and Mexico of all illegal drugs.  His name was Enrique Camarena.  The parents and children in his home town started wearing red ribbons to commemorate his memory and what he stood for every single day.  Today, Red Ribbon Week is a time to educate youth about the dangers of drug use and encourage participation in drug prevention activities.  Glenshire's 5th Grade Safe School Ambassadors have been working hard to bring drug prevention activities to our school.  They will be having assemblies for 3-5 grade and all students will receive a Red Ribbon Pencil and YOLO (you only live once- this year's theme) wristband.  Each day of the week will include a spirit day with a dress theme as well.
Monday:  Wear a hat to school- "Put a cap on it, don't put unhealthy things in your body."

Tuesday:  Crazy Hair Day- "Go crazy with your hair, but not your body."

Wednesday:  Wear Red to school-  "Honor Enrique"

Thursday:  Wear socks that represent you-  "Be yourself!"

Friday:  Wear bright colors-  "Be bright, don't put unhealthy things in your body!"
