Happy Friday!
Toot Your Horn Thursday:
This week, we had two nominees - Steph and Henry (5D). Henry was our first student nominee.
Steph was nominated by Josh Tolle for the following - Imagine picture day and you still have a Huskies Tattoo plastered to your right cheek. It's faded, patchy and missing its beautiful luster from Homecoming. Most horribly, it will not come off with soap and water or fingernails! Well Steph Stolp came to the rescue for my poor face tattooed friend in 5d. Off she whisked him to the nurses office where she could work her beautification process. Out he came squeaky clean with nary a mark upon his youthful face to have hopefully his best picture day ever! Thanks Steph for dropping everything you were doing to help a student in need. You are awesome!
Henry was nominated by Ashlee Kraus for The other day Henry and a Kindergartner left my office. The kindergartner was struggling to open the big heavy door going outside. Henry was going back to class but he saw the kindergartner struggling to push the door open so he turned around to helped open the door for them. I could see it made the other child so happy! I told Henry that was so nice of him to help out another student. He is always so polite and selfless and I was so happy that he did not hesitate to help. Way to go Henry!

Red Ribbon Week - from Nancy Williams @ OHS:
Please join our schools and community as we celebrate Red Ribbon Week during the month of October. This is an annual national drug prevention celebration. The D.E.A. estimates that over 90 million people, nationwide, celebrate this event. Adults can support our youth to make a pledge to live a drug free life. OHS SHOC (Students Helping Others Choose) is active during the week spreading awareness and education of the dangers of drug use. A variety of activities are hosted for our youth. Our High School will have Red decorations adorning the hallways and cafeteria, Pledge banners and OMS/OHS/ALC prevention lunchbooths. There will be a 4th grade drug prevention poster contest. These posters will be displayed in local storefronts as well as in the schools. Families are encouraged to attend our RRW Kickoff Event at the Owatonna High School in the cafeteria. Owatonna’s Mayor Kuntz will be there to read the Red Ribbon Week Proclamation. In addition, there will be free snacks, lots of activities and we will honor our 4th grade “Life is a Movie Film Drug Free” poster contest winners. SHOC students will be leading activities and handing out Halloween treats and prizes to kids. The Steele County Healthy Youth Board and Public Health will be sharing literature with parents about how to help keep their kids healthy and drug/vape free. Support our youth and encourage each of them to make a pledge to live a healthy, drug free lifestyle. I hope to see everyone at the Owatonna High School on Tuesday, Oct. 22nd from 5:00-6:30 at our Red Ribbon Week kick off event! - Nancy Williams, MSW, LICSW
