Last week we were able to wrap up Rett Syndrome Awareness month with the unveiling of Virginia's Memorial Bench to the Lang Family. The memorial bench that has been installed in the pollinator garden. We encourage families to take a moment to see it during dismissal.

• Texas has the second highest rates of human trafficking (1 in 4) in the United States. The new curriculum is an effort to increase awareness and prevent human trafficking. The curriculum was developed by A21, a distinguished non-profit with programs to rescue and rehabilitate victims of human trafficking in 14 countries. https://www.a21.org/
• The content and language are age-appropriate and serve as building blocks for long-term prevention of human trafficking. The word “trafficking” is not introduced until high school. 
• Teachers can share lesson materials with parents as soon as they are made available. If you previously opted out and would like to change your response, please email your child’s homeroom teacher. For any additional questions, please reach out to Ms. Romines elromines@dallasisd.org.

We’ve been waiting for over a year, but our new marquee is finally here! This is one of the many projects that we have been able to do as a result of our community’s support and fundraising. We are so excited to get it up and running; be sure to to check it out for announcements, events, birthday messages and more!

Also, special birthday shout out to John Wells Champion today! He will go down in Stallion history as our last birthday message on the old marquee. The new marquee install is still finishing up, so it wasn’t ready to display his birthday message, but our Stallion was there to make him feel special today!

Special shout out to our FOL crossing guard Dads who really brought the Halloween spirit last week!
