💙 CUB FAMILIES — LET'S WEAR BLUE ONE MORE MONDAY! 💙
Tomorrow, Monday, October 26th, marks our final Wear Blue Monday for Bullying Prevention Month!
💙 Every Cub Belongs! 🐾
We want to sincerely THANK our students, staff, and families who have participated throughout October and helped spread the message of kindness, acceptance, and inclusion. Your support matters more than you know!
As we wrap up this month, our hope is that the message continues long after October ends. Every student deserves to walk through our school doors feeling safe, valued, respected, and most importantly, knowing they BELONG!
Let's wear BLUE one more time tomorrow as a reminder that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a lasting difference in someone's life. Together, we can continue building a school community where EVERY CUB feels they belong!
💙 #BlueUp #EveryCubBelongs#CubsChooseKindness

H.E.L.P and Humboldt Elementary School are partnering to hold a Read-A-Thon this year!
Read-A-Thons actually get your reader excited about reading and it gives friends and family the opportunity to encourage your child to read even more.
Our Read-A-Thon starts Monday October 19, 2026.
About one week before our Read-A-Thon starts we will send home instructions on how to activate your reader's personal page. This is where you will be able to view and record their progress.
We encourage you to activate your reader’s account today by clicking on https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/323835333735/1?utm=email and following the simple instructions.
We've chosen Read-A-Thon because it will not take much of your time, gives your child a reason to read and helps in the development of stronger reading skills. Our building-wide goal is to read at least 150,000 minutes. We have AMAZING prizes for top readers, classes, and the entire building. We can't wait to get everything started.
We hope EVERYONE participates.
Thanks so much,
H.E.L.P
