Red Ribbon week will be taking place the week of October 26th - October 30th. Our teachers will be delivering age-appropriate lessons around the importance and value of living a drug-free life.

To celebrate this week with fun, we will hold the following Spirit Days next week:

Monday, October 26
"Put a Cap on Drugs" - Wear a Hat to School (The crazier the better!)

Tuesday, October 27
"Sock it to Drugs" - Wear Crazy Socks

Wednesday, October 28
"Team up Against Drugs" - Wear your favorite sports team gear

Thursday, October 29
"Follow Your Dreams" - Wear Pajamas (wear shoes you can run in!)

Friday, October 30
Halloween or "Red Day" - Wear Your Halloween Costume
or anything Red

Students may wear a costume to school on Friday, October 30th if they would like. Please ensure that there is no blood/gore or weapons of any kind (including toy guns or swords) and ensure that they can sit in their chairs with their costume on.

You may want to consider having your student bring a change of clothes they can change into at recess (this will keep costumes from getting damaged or worn).

Join us for Quantum Academy's 2nd annual Trunk or Treat on Friday, October 30th from 5:30pm - 7:00pm. Dress up & enjoy some treats, games, music, and photo ops!

Check out the SignUp Genius to sign up to sponsor and/or volunteer.

Thank you for helping PTA make this event a success!

We’re kindly asking for candy donations to help fill our trunks with treats. You can drop off your donations during pick-up time or when signing out at the YMCA—just look for our friendly "Candy Monster" cans who will be ready to collect your goodies!

Thank you for your support!

With Veterans Day approaching, we are excited to honor our Veterans and Active-Duty family and friends with a variety of activities.

Our 7th grade students will be creating up a special wall of honor in our Great Hall where we will post photos as well as inspirational stories and historical facts.

We are also creating a slideshow with photos of Veterans and Active Duty personnel connected to our Quantum students. We would love to include any photos you would be willing to share! Please click the button below to submit photos. If you submitted photos last year, we will use those once again unless you prefer that we do not.

Throughout the month of November, our students will also be putting together care packages with personal notes and goodies to send to those currently serving to encourage and thank them for their sacrifice.

Please email Mrs. Murphy at [email protected] with any questions.

In November, we're excited to kick off our "Recipe of the Month" classes which will take place during students' PE classes once per month. In these classes, students will prepare dishes using food grown in our very own garden!

We are looking for parent volunteers to join us! Volunteers will help students prepare a recipe, learn basic cooking skills, and enjoy the experience of creating something together. It promises to be a fun and rewarding time with our students!
