Red Ribbon Week October 22 - 26
Each October, Cypress Fairbanks ISD joins other schools around the country to encourage our students to commit to a drug-free lifestyle. Jowell has planned several activities the week of October 22 - 26 to help students understand the dangers of illegal drugs. Each day will have a theme as we pledge to keep away from drugs. Please join us by dressing up each day.

Tuesday, Oct 23, From my head to my toes, I choose to say no. Wear crazy hair or hat and socks.
Wednesday, Oct 24, Dress for success, don't use drugs. Wear your best for picture day.
Thursday, Oct 25, Team up against drugs. Wear a jersey or team shirt.
Friday, Oct 26 Give drugs the boot. Wear western wear (no guns or spurs) and enjoy Rodeo Day!
