Today, students and staff wore red to celebrate RED Day! RED stands for Respect Each person’s Differences. On this day, we ask all Vikings to take the RED Day Pledge: 'I promise to Respect Each person’s Differences. I will show acceptance and appreciation to everyone so that I can be a part of making our school, our community, and our world a kinder place.'
Please wear red tomorrow in support of Inclusive Schools Week!
Happy birthday to Salt Creek’s November friends!
