Red Ribbon Week was a huge success! It gave us a chance to not just talk to our learners about saying "NO" to drugs, but we also were able to speak about the healthy choices that they can make NOW.

Getting enough sleep, eating nutritious foods, being kind, setting short and long term goals, the many choices we have when dealing with a bully, and handling disappointment, anger, frustration and anxiety in a healthy way.

If they start making healthy choices now, those choices will turn into healthy habits as they grow older and are confronted with what can at times be life altering decisions. We hope that you were able to participate in the Parent Call to Action side of our week as well.

On that note, I truly believe that arming our kids with knowledge is the most important thing we can do. Telling them to "just say no" without an explanation does not equip them with the ability to make an informed decision.

Last year, participating in the Shatterproof 5K walk/run provided us with the perfect opportunity to continue the conversation.

I know many of you have told me that you plan on joining us (Team Tommy) in Dallas on November 16th for the Shatterproof 5K walk/run.

Last year it was so amazing to see nearly 80 kids, parents, teachers, friends and members of our community out there running, walking or cheering us on!

Every registration to run gets a 2019 Team Tommy shirt! Not able to make it?? Any $30+ donation gets one as well! We are making a few subtle changes to this year's shirt, but it will still be the same bright green....Tommy's favorite color!

Google doc to follow! If you just want to head on down with the 2018 shirt and hang and cheer you can do that as well!! All are welcome!
