Red Ribbon Week 10/25 - 10/29
Why do we celebrate Red Ribbon?
Red ribbons have become a symbol of intolerance towards the use of drugs. The mission of the Red Ribbon Campaign ® is to present a unified and visible commitment towards the creation of a DRUG - FREE AMERICA.
What is Dyer doing to celebrate Red Ribbon? We are celebrating October 25th through the 29th. Please have your children wear the following to show their support:
- Monday 10-25: Sock it to Drugs Day - Wear crazy or mismatched socks!
- Tuesday 10-26: Be Your Own Hero Day - Wear a cape! Homemade is fine! For example, use a pillow case, jacket, or t shirt attached with safety pins) No whole costumes please.
- Wednesday 10-27: Wear Red Wednesday - Try saying that 3 times fast! Wear as much red as you can! Thursday
- 10-28: My Future's Too Bright For Drugs Day - Wear sunglasses! (Remove them during learning time please.)
- Friday 10-29: Team Up Against Drugs - Wear any type of sport shirt, Dyer spirit wear or black and gold!
Additionally, there will be informative morning/afternoon announcements and visits throughout the day from the RED RIBBONINI and RED RIBBON SUPER GIRL, favorite friends who return each year to encourage a drug-free life. There will also be a gift to promote the Dyer staff and student commitment to be drug free.
