Every child deserves to get to and from school safely. As we recognize National School Bus Safety Week, remember you are an important part of the total safety awareness program for students who travel to and from school by bus — not just this week, but every day.
🚸 Observe these important safety tips:
👀 Watch for children near bus stops, along roadways and when crossing the street.
🛑 Stop when a school bus has its red lights flashing and stop arm extended.
📵 Stay focused and avoid distractions while driving.
🐢 Slow down in school zones and residential areas where children may be present.

Cato Elementary received a $711.45 Red Ribbon Grant from the Arkansas Sheriffs’ Association, presented by Pulaski County Sheriff Eric Higgins. 

School counselor Felicia Mayfield applied for the grant and said the funds will buy items for students in grades K-5, including a pledge banner for students to sign and commit to living drug-free, red ribbons, educational activity booklets, bracelets and other Red Ribbon Week materials.

The Arkansas Sheriffs' Association has awarded Red Ribbon Grants to schools across the state since 2017 to help strengthen drug prevention education and build drug-free communities.

Thank you for investing in our students and helping create a positive future for all learners! #ExpectBelieveSucceed #RedRibbonWeek
