This is the last day for all TREATS FOR OUR TROOPS donations! So get that candy in as collection bags will be picked up at dismissal today.
Tomorrow, AWARE will sponsor a Vape-Out, in recognition of the Great American Smoke-out, an anti-smoking event that has taken place on the third Thursday of November since 1977 to encourage smokers to quit. The good news is that rates of cigarette smoking among young people have declined, but unfortunately, vaping e-cigarettes has increased dramatically. Companies like JUUL are making millions of dollars by luring kids to use their products, with slick advertising that hides the risks. All JUULs contain high levels of nicotine hidden in sweet flavorings that cause addiction and lung disease, just like regular cigarettes. Please Join AWARE in wearing black on Thursday to symbolize that we are against all forms of smoking and vaping at HMS.
