Red Ribbon Week - Red Ribbon Week is the nation’s oldest and largest drug prevention program in the nation reaching millions of Americans during the last week of October every year. By wearing red ribbons and participating in community anti-drug events, young people pledge to live a drug-free life. The schedule for next week’s activities is:
• Monday: Born to Be Drug Free - Students will bring in a baby picture of themselves to school to share with the class.
• Tuesday: Sock it to Drugs - Students can wear crazy socks to school with their uniform.
• Wednesday: Hats off to Saying No to Violence - Students can wear hats to school with their uniform.
• Thursday: Team Up Against Drugs - Students can wear a sports jersey or shirt over their uniform.
• Friday: Dress up in Good "Character" - Students can wear a costume to school. No goblins, witches, masks, or weapons. Violations of these rules will result in a phone call home and a change of clothing into school uniform. There will be planned activities during class as well as safe trick or treating for your child at the end of the day.
