Red Ribbon Week will be October 22nd - 26th. It is an alcohol, tobacco, drug and violence prevention week annually observed in October. This year’s theme is, Life is Your Journey, Travel Drug-Free. Let’s celebrate being drug-free with a journey to different parts of the World each day. The cafeteria will be helping us celebrate by serving food that you may purchase from our chosen destinations. Check below to see where we are headed!
To help celebrate come to school dressed for that day’s celebration. For example, on Island day you can wear a Hawaiian print shirt. Everyone who dresses has a chance at being the winner of the day! Winners will be announced and prizes given out on Fri. Oct. 26th.
