They don't need to have grandiose ideas of necessarily changing the world, just enough confidence that they are significant and they can make a difference – small as it might be. Students have to be good readers, but more importantly good communicators. In essence, they are like mentors or teachers (even for a short 10 minute time span) to the classroom they visit. They are charged with encouraging the class to read and inspiring then to live better lives. The students will read on Friday, September 28. Student Council will meet at lunch every Wednesday. Art students are working on the Western Art project. The Blood Drive will be held on October 1. Students will meet with their mentors on October 11.

The Drug Enforcement Agency in conjunction with numerous law enforcement agencies, including the Conroe Independent School District Police Department, sponsored "Operation Got Drugs" on Saturday, September 29 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Expired, unused, and unwanted controlled substances in the home are the leading source of controlled substances in cases where students illegally possess these drugs at school. "Operation Got Drugs" is a medicine take-back initiative that affords citizens in the community the opportunity to rid their medicine cabinets of their unused, unwanted, and expired medications in a safe, non-hazardous manner. This event can reduce the likelihood of these medications ending up in the wrong hands. For other locations, visit the DEA web page at http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/drug_disposal/takeback/index.html and look for the Collection Site Locator button. Have you joined the PTO yet? Don't wait! The Directory is going to press on October 1. Reserve your copy of the Directory today by joining the PTO.
