Celebrating Red Ribbon Week at NPE
Red Ribbon Week has created awareness all week with our students starting the week off by signing the pledge banner to "Celebrate Life. Live Drug Free". In addition, students engaged in the spirit of awareness by dressing in the designated theme for each day & classroom doors were decorated with various "Say no to drugs" themes. What a great week it has been!
