Walk-a-Thon Success!

Thanks to all who supported our PTO fund raiser this year. Our Walk-a-thon was a ton of fun - beautiful weather, DJ jams from Andrew Vaughn Music, and the great outdoors with friends! We were able to raise $6000 which will be used to provide special programs and activities for our students throughout the year!

Child Lures - Think First and Stay Safe, Body Safety Presentations

Child Lures Think First and Stay Safe™ is one of the oldest, most widely used abuse prevention programs for youth. The program will be presented to youth at Thorntown Elementary School the week of October 23 (Date has been pushed back from the week of Oct 9). This presentation provides age-appropriate information, videos, and activities to help children recognize unsafe situations and sexual abuse. Your child will learn the proper names for body parts, what constitutes safe and unsafe touches, abuse resistance techniques, and how to identify their trusted adults.

While student participation is strongly encouraged, parents may opt out for their child by returning the attached OPT OUT form to the school by October 23. Please contact the school with any questions. Thank you!
