The Self-Discipline newsletter (link on left side of blog) provides parents with ideas to encourage our students to be in control of their thoughts and actions. Bloomfield Elementary will celebrate Red Ribbon Week during October 24 – 31. The Red Ribbon Campaign was started when drug traffickers in Mexico City murdered Kiki Camarena, a DEA agent, in 1985.
