| RED RIBBON WEEK CELEBRATIONS |
LISA Academy’s students, teachers, and staff celebrated Red Ribbon Week during the week of October 27-31st which was themed “We Elect to be Drug Free” due to the fact that it’s an election year. We had a week filled with fun and exciting activities to get our students excited about being and staying drug free. We had a Coin Drive competition to raise money for our playground in which Mr. West’s 4th grade class won raising over $100 for the playground. We also held a Can Food Drive and collected tons of food that we donated to the Arkansas Rice Depot. We had a Door Decorating Contest in which all the homeroom classes decorated their doors and the winning classes won a movie and pizza party. Other activities held during this week were Crazy Sock Day and Wear Red Day. Students also participated in Red Ribbon Week Essay and Poster Contests.

Volunteers are needed during Book Fair Week to help as students shop. If you would like to volunteer for one or more days, please contact Mrs. Whittington at the school by phone or e-mail.

| HOME VISIT PROGRAM SHOWS GREAT SUCCESS |
LISA Academy-North Home Visit Program is continuing with a great success. The Home Visit Program has been established with the goal of fostering greater communication and involvement between parents, students and teachers. The visits only last around 15-30 minutes and no special effort is required on the part of the family. When teachers have the opportunity to visit students and parents in the more relaxed setting of the home, relationships begin to develop which in turn enhance the entire learning experience at school. Our teachers are working hard, going beyond their schedule and trying to visit our parents in their homes. The home visits build rapport and respect between the student, parent and the teacher which improves students' grades and behavior at school.
This year we have visited around 63% of our students so far, and hopefully that will go up to a 100%. If you are still in the 37%, just wait for the call from our teachers and please welcome them!...
