Don’t toss those picture packets just yet! 📸 Even if you didn’t purchase school pictures, each packet from Barksdale includes a secure image card on the back with your child’s photo. These cards are great to keep on hand in case of an emergency. They provide a current picture that can be shared with law enforcement if ever needed. Check the back before you recycle!

¡No tires todavía los paquetes de fotos! 📸 Aunque no hayas comprado fotos escolares, cada paquete de Barksdale incluye una tarjeta con la foto de tu hijo/a en la parte posterior. Estas tarjetas son muy útiles en caso de emergencia. Proporcionan una foto reciente que se puede compartir con la policía si fuera necesario. ¡Revisa la parte posterior antes de reciclar!

Today at CBMS, students learned more about Red Ribbon Week and took part in some fun activities! They attended an assembly to learn why Red Ribbon Week is celebrated and about this year’s theme, “Life is a Puzzle, Solve it Drug Free.” Officer Lemon joined in and brought goggles that simulate the effects of alcohol and drugs, giving students a hands-on way to see how those substances can impact coordination and judgment during a relay race activity.

Along with the assembly, students celebrated the day’s theme, “Your Future is Bright,” by wearing neon.

¡Hoy en CBMS, los estudiantes aprendieron más sobre Red Ribbon y participaron en actividades divertidas! Asistieron a una asamblea para aprender por qué se celebra Red Ribbon y sobre el tema de este año, “La vida es un rompecabezas, resuélvelo sin drogas.” El oficial Lemon también participó y llevó gafas que simulan los efectos del alcohol y las drogas, dando a los estudiantes una forma práctica de ver cómo esas sustancias pueden afectar la coordinación y el juicio durante una carrera de relevos.

Junto con la asamblea, los estudiantes celebraron el tema del día, “Tu futuro es brillante,” vistiendo ropa de color neón.
