Parents,

It’s Red Ribbon Week! The district wide theme this year is “The best in me is Drug Free”. All students will receive a red ribbon on Tuesday, October 23. We are encouraging the students to wear their Red Ribbon every day that week. You can also show spirit by:

Tuesday: “My future is bright without drugs!” Everyone is encouraged to wear sunglasses.

Wednesday: “We give drugs the boot!” Everyone is encouraged to wear boots and/or western wear.

Thursday: “I’m a “Jean”-ius, I’m drug free!” Everyone is encouraged to wear jeans.

Friday: “Wear Red Day!” Everyone is encouraged to wear red to symbolize the fight against drug abuse.
