National Custodial Workers’ Recognition Day
October 2, 2021 was National Custodian Day, a time for recognizing the people who work diligently, often behind the scenes, to make sure our schools and workplaces are spotless and sanitary. School custodians have been true heroes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Please take a moment to show your appreciation to the custodians who help keep us all safe.
National School Lunch Week
The week of October 11-15, 2021 is National School Lunch Week and an annual celebration of the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child’s life, inside and outside the classroom. This year’s theme is Wild About School Lunch, and we encourage everyone to celebrate cafeteria workers by showing them that we are “wild” about the healthy and delicious meals they prepare and serve every day.
National School Bus Safety Week
Held during the third full week of October each year, National School Bus Safety Week (October 18-22, 2021) is an excellent time for parents, students, teachers, motorists, school bus drivers and others to promote the importance of school bus safety. Although school buses are considered to be the safest motor vehicles on the road, accidents do happen, and most accidents occur when a vehicle illegally passes a stopped school bus. School Bus Safety Week helps spread awareness and offers a reminder to everyone to adhere to all safety procedures and bus-stopping laws.
National Bullying Prevention Month
October is National Bullying Prevention Month, a month-long event to help prevent childhood bullying and promote kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. Wednesday, October 20, 2021 is National Unity Day, when everyone is urged to wear orange as a visible message that no child should ever experience bullying.
National Red Ribbon Week
Red Ribbon Week takes place each year from October 23 through October 31. The 2021 theme, Drug Free Looks Like Me, was created by Marin Wurst, a 7th grader at Sonon Middle School in Solon, Ohio. It serves as a reminder that everyday Americans across the county make significant daily contributions to their communities by being the best they can be because they live drug-free.
