social isolation and create a culture of inclusion and connectedness within their classroom, school or youth organization. Social isolation is the overwhelming feeling of being left out, lonely, or treated like you are invisible. It is a growing epidemic in the United States and within our schools. We encourage you to talk to your child about the Start With Hello program and ask them to share what they have learned. Not only will that help you learn how to support your child to see isolation, reach out and connect, and Start With Hello, it also demonstrates to your child that you take this subject seriously and can support them in their actions to create a more connected and inclusive home, classroom, school and community. For more information on Start With Hello and to sign up to receive the Start With Hello Parent Brochure, please visit: http://www.sandyhookpromise.org/bringstartwithhello. Red Ribbon Week - Red Ribbon Week, the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the nation, is your opportunity to get the conversation started about drug and alcohol prevention. DID YOU KNOW? Children of parents who talk to their teens regularly about drugs are 42% less likely to use drugs than those who don’t; yet, only a quarter of teens report having these conversations. This year’s theme is Life Is Your Journey, Travel Drug Free. Visit www.redribbon.org to learn more about Red Ribbon Week and get tips for talking to your kids about drugs. The life you save may be that of your own child or a dear friend. Winter Sports Registration is now open on the EMS website. Contact Mr. Averill with any questions. Thank you. EMS Movie Night - On Friday, October 19th, 6:30 – 8:30 PM. Join your friends to view Nightmare Before Christmas! Admission is FREE.
