Each day on the morning announcements there will be a special message regarding Red Ribbon Week. We will also be saying the Red Ribbon Week Pledge after the Pledge of Allegiance. Here is a list of the activities that we are happy to be participating in! As an incentive to promote participation, teachers tally the number of students that participate each day and the top 5 classes that have the most participation will receive a prize and the teachers will receive a duty free lunch!
Below is a list of the activities we will be doing at our school.
Below is a list of the activities we will be doing at our school.
Monday: Everyone receive a Red Ribbon to kick off Red Ribbon Week. Also, students will read then post the Red Ribbon Week History somewhere in their classroom.
Tuesday: “Sock it to Drugs Day!” Everyone will wear the 'craziest' socks they have!!! Students will sign, decorate, and cut out red ribbons, then put them up in the hallway outside of their classroom. We hope to have ribbons up all over the school!
Wednesday: “Put a Cap on Drugs Day!” Everyone wear a hat or cap! Students will read and sign the class pledge to be drug free and post it somewhere in their classroom.
Thursday: “Slam Dunk Drugs are Junk!” Wear a favorite sports team jersey or logo. During writing students will write about why it’s important to be healthy and drug free. Door contest concludes at end of the day.
Friday: “Everyone Wear Red Day!” 3rd annual door contest winners (judged by PTO) will be selected and announced!! (1 winner per grade- classroom prizes awarded)

“Ways I can respect myself…”
“List of better things to do than drugs…”
“How does character tie in with being drug free??
I'm looking forward to posting pictures to showcase all the participation of students and faculty at our school!
Nice work - I LOVE that we can incorporate CC! week with RR week, especially for the littlest learners who don't even really understand what drugs are. . . . but they SURE understood what Bucket Fillers, Character Kids, or PeaceMakers are. That proactive, positive focus is such a healthy way for them to catch on to a drug-free future.
