Red Ribbon Week- Oct. 27-29

The purpose of the Red Ribbon Days is to present a visible commitment to a safe, healthy and drug-free lifestyle. These special days are designed to accomplish the following:
-  to create awareness concerning the problems related to the use of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs
-  to support the decision to live a healthy, drug-free lifestyle.

The first Red Ribbon Week was proclaimed in 1988 by the U.S. Congress in support of a federal drug agent who gave his life for combating illegal drugs. The week is marked by the wearing of a red ribbon to send the message: Live drug-free!

Next week, we will celebrate Red Ribbon Days by doing the following:

Drug Free Student Pledge
I pledge to stay in school and learn the things that I need to know.
I pledge to make the world a better place for kids like me to grow.
I pledge to keep my dreams alive and be all that I can be.
I pledge to help others and to keep myself drug free.

Theme Days
Monday, 10/27 – Wear Red to remember it is important to make healthy choices
Tuesday, 10/28 – Team Up Against Drugs – wear your favorite team shirt or colors
Wednesday, 10/29 – Sock It To Drugs – wear crazy socks

“Too Smart for Drugs” Guessing Jar
A jar filled with Smarties will be available for viewing in the main hallway trophy case from 10/22 – 10/29. Each class will have just (1) guess/estimate of how many packages of Smarties are in the guessing jar. The class, who comes closest, without going over, wins the contents of the jar for their class. In case of a tie, the contents will be divided between the classes that tied. A box will be available in the mailroom on Wed. 10/29 for your best guess – remember just (1) per class.
Your class will need to Synergize!
