Elementary Families, our Lions were ready to MOVE today! Thank you for all the athletic gear and energy!

Tomorrow is our LAST day of Red Ribbon Week: Rest Up, Be Your Best - Healthy Heroes Need Their Rest! Lions can wear school-appropriate pajamas or comfy clothes.

Rest is a superpower! 🌙 Kids ages 6 to 12 need 9 to 12 hours of sleep a night. Try a calm-down tool with your Lion tonight:
🎈 Balloon breathing: breathe in slowly, like you're filling a balloon, then let it out slowly
💭 Name it to tame it: saying a feeling out loud ("I feel nervous") helps it shrink
📖 Wind down together with a story or one good thing about your day

Healthy Heroes know how to recharge! 💙

What a TEAM, Lions! Thank you, Elementary Families, for all the team spirit today! 🦁❤️

Tomorrow, Wednesday, Oct 28, is "Shine Bright, Choose What's Right!" ✨ Break out your brightest neon colors! 💚💛💗

Choosing what's right is easier with a plan. Practice these ways to say no with your Lion tonight:
🙅 "No thanks!" Say it clearly, then walk away
🔄 Suggest something else: "Let's go play outside instead!"
🏠 Use a grown-up as your reason: "My mom wouldn't be okay with that"
🧑‍🏫 Tell a trusted adult if something doesn't feel right

Try a quick role-play. You be the friend, and they practice their answer. Bright colors, bright choices! 🌟

Know a Riverwalk staff member who goes above and beyond?

Every month, we celebrate one of the people who make Riverwalk Academy such a special place — and we want to hear from YOU!

Whether it’s a teacher who sparked your child’s love of learning, an instructional assistant who went the extra mile, a front office team member who always greets you with a smile, or a coach who makes a difference every day — now’s your chance to say thank you. 💙

Just share their name and a few words about why they deserve the recognition. Every nomination is shared with the staff member, so your kind words go a long way!

Healthy Heroes help us all! Elementary Families, thank you for a sea of RED today! ❤️ Tomorrow, Tuesday, Oct 27, is "Team Up and Stand Tall." Lions can wear a favorite team shirt, Riverwalk gear, or school colors

Why it matters: good choices are easier when you have a team behind you. Kids who feel connected to trusted adults at home and at school are better able to make healthy decisions.

Dinner question tonight: "Who's on your team? Who are the grown-ups you can always go to for help?"

Heroes work together!

Healthy Heroes, assemble! Elementary Families, Red Ribbon Week kicks off TOMORROW with "Heroes Wear Red: Make Good Choices Instead!" Lay out that red shirt tonight!

Try this 2-minute "What Would You Do?" game at dinner:
-A friend dares you to take something that isn't yours.
-Someone offers you a pill and says it's "just candy."
-An older kid wants you to try something you know isn't safe.

Practice saying "No thanks, I'm good!" and then tell a trusted grown-up. Heroes have a plan!

See you in RED tomorrow, Lions!
