Conference MonthOctober is Parent Teacher Conference month. Conferences are designed to help parents stay connected with what their child is learning and their progress. Conferences can truly strengthen communication and foster a more clear understanding so that parents and teacher can partner to help a child achieve success. Because of this, we urge each of you to attend parent teacher conferences Friday, October 19th. You will receive a scheduled appointment from your teacher next week. If you are unable to attend, you are welcome at any time this month to request a conference with your child's teacher. Please give us a call if you have any questions. Picture Re-Take DayPicture Re-Take Day will be on Wednesday, October 24th, 2012 for P3, P4 and JK.

Feature Article 
Every year schools around the country, including Fairmont Private Schools, set aside one week in October for Red Ribbon Week. During this week students wear a red wristband without much of a thought as to why we designate this week as Red Ribbon Week.
Red Ribbon Week was officially proclaimed by Congress in 1988, and there were many events that led up to Congress' official declaration.
In 1985, a team of Drug Enforcement Agency officers were kidnapped and subsequently murdered by Mexican drug cartels. These murders came as retaliation for agent Enrique "Kiki" Camerena's efforts to eradicate a huge drug trafficking operation in Mexico.
To honor Kiki Camerena, people in California began wearing red ribbons as a symbol to encourage people to "Say 'No' to Drugs" and started "Camarena Clubs" to encourage high school students to pledge to live a drug-free life. Eventually, the clubs grew and caught the attention of Nancy Reagan, then First Lady of the United States. With her help, they were able to have Congress proclaim an official "Red Ribbon Week" in 1988.
This past week, during the Historic Anaheim Campus' Red Ribbon Week, students wore their red wristbands proudly and emphasized a healthy lifestyle, good behavior and to make good choices in honor of agent Camerena and his hard work in fighting against drugs.
"We'd rather eat bugs than do drugs!"
