Red Ribbon Week Assemblies

posted ‎‎Oct 21, 2009 9:02 AM‎‎ by Scott Blackwell

Students were treated to two special assemblies for Red Ribbon Week. On Monday, students got to see a BMX bike show assembly and learned the importance of working hard and making good choices.  On Tuesday, students saw America's Most Popular School Assembly, THE NED SHOW.  The NED Show promotes academic achievement and character development by teaching three critical skills that will benefit kids for a lifetime: 

Never Give Up
Encourage Others
Do Your Best

And yes, YO-YOs are now on sale for the next 5 days at Leffingwell.  The NED Show speaker used a yo-yo to tell stories, get his message across, and entertain the kids!

Thank you PTA for sponsoring these fun activities for our students!
