2018 Red Ribbon Week @ OPES
October 23 - October 26
National Theme: Life is Your Journey, Travel Drug Free
During Red Ribbon Week, schools, businesses, and communities come together to take a stand against harmful drugs! Our goal is to encourage healthy lifestyles and decision making! Throughout the week, the students will learn about staying safe from drugs and making healthy choices!
We will also have a chance to support our academic standards throughout the week! All of our students from Kindergarten to fifth grade have health and safety standards related to drug awareness and prevention. Below you will find a link to the standards.
Show your Eagle Pride and support Red Ribbon Week by participating in the following events!
Tuesday- Mix it Up at Lunch & Drugs are Tacky Day!

Today's theme also connects with our participation in National Mix it Up at Lunch Day

Thursday- Dream of a Drug Free World!
Friday- Wear Red for Spirit Day!
