Walk of the Wolverines<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

\u00a0Annual Fundraiser is coming<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Friday, October 20, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

The last time Forest Park held this fundraiser, funds were directed right back to our classrooms and supported school projects. \u00a0Thanks to the generosity of our community, teachers and staff were able to provide educational assemblies, on-site presentations, walk-through history, computer programs, library books, Chromebooks, field trips, etc. to our students.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

Our goal is to raise\u00a0$45,000\u00a0with 70% going directly back to classrooms and 30% being used on school-wide projects.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

A Walk of the Wolverines flier will be sent home on Friday, October 6, 2023 with more information. \u00a0We will also be looking for volunteers to help that day.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Let’s crush that goal and continue to make Forest Park one of the top schools in all of Fremont.<\/p>\r\n

Counselor News<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\r\n

In October, I will be visiting classrooms to talk about Red Ribbon Week and Bullying prevention. (Topics will be discussed in an age-appropriate manner) Please use family dinner times to discuss ways to reduce youth substance abuse and other risky behaviors.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n

The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University found that the more often kids eat dinner with their families (five to seven per week), the less likely they are to smoke, drink or use drugs. It is important to establish a routine with your children and dinner is the easiest way for engagement and communication.<\/p>\r\n

AS A COMMITMENT TO HELPING MY CHILD “GROW UP SAFE, HEALTHY, AND DRUG FREE”, I PLEDGE TO DO THE FOLLOWING:<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. Aim to eat dinner together 3-4 times a week. Use family dinner as an opportunity to really connect with my children.<\/li>\r\n
  2. Talk to my kids and set clear rules about not using drugs, work with my children’s friends’ parents to set common boundaries\u00a0and share this message with family and friends.<\/li>\r\n
  3. Secure and take regular inventory of my medication, safely dispose of unused\/expired medication, and share this message with family and friends.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
