Friday is Neon Day.

Red Ribbon Week

Did you know: 90% of Americans with a substance abuse problem started smoking, drinking or using other drugs before age 18.

Thank you for dressing mix-matched today to show that drugs are a fashion disaster! Join us tomorrow in dressing like your favorite Disney/Pixar character to remind us all that life is Magical without drugs.

ASPIRE

Attention 10th Grade Students: On October 29th, any student who is classified as a 10th grader will participate in ASPIRE testing from periods 1-7. ASPIRE is part of the ACT testing program and is being given free of charge at Cy Woods. Visit the Cy Woods website for information regarding snacks and calculators for the ASPIRE test.

Due to testing on October 29th, the bell schedule has been changed.  Lunch and early release times are impacted.

Red Ribbon Week

Did you know: Teen tobacco, alcohol and drug users are at least twice as likely as nonusers to have poor grades.  Even more alarming: Teen drug users are about twice as likely as non-users to drop out of high school.

Thank you for dressing up like a twin today to show you are willing to team up against drugs.  Join us tomorrow as we recognize that drugs are a fashion disaster.  Wear mix-matched clothes and crazy hair.

Seniors

Seniors, don't be scared to submit!  If you would like to work on your college applications - whether you just need a few minutes to finish up or ask questions, or if you need an hour to get started on an application, Mrs. England will be in the library computer lab this Wednesday from 1:30 until 4:00 to assist you.  Stop by, take some Halloween candy and get to work.

FFA

Cypress Woods FFA competed at Aggiefest on Saturday.  The Senior Skills Demonstration Team placed FIRST at the contest!  Congratulations to those students!!

Volleyball

Your volleyball girls are on a roll!!  We are so proud of them and thank all our fans for coming out to cheer all our teams on!  The girls had another program sweep on Friday against Cy Springs putting the Varsity girls in 2nd place in District!  They have an away match against Cy Ranch on Tuesday, a bye on Friday and their last district match on the following Tuesday against Bryan!  Way to go Wildcats, you make Cy Woods proud.

Red Ribbon Week

Red Ribbon Week is the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the country.  This year Red Ribbon Week begins today.

Red Ribbon Fact #1: A child who reaches age 21 without smoking, using alcohol and other illegal drugs or abusing prescription drugs is virtually certain never to do so.

Thank you for wearing your superhero costumes today.  Tomorrow join us as we dress like a twin to help Team Up Against Drugs.
