Red Ribbon Week

Today we visited the front of the school and tied a ribbon on the fence.  Each student put their names on their ribbons and then pledged that they would be "Drug Free 4 Life".  We tied the ribbons on symbolizing our promise.  So, as you drive by this week, take a look at the ribbons and know that your child has made that promise. 

Some of the students posing in red.  Some of us ;)  went all out. 
Today was the start of our Red Ribbon Week.  Red Ribbon Week was started by Special Agent "Kiki"
Camarena's sacrifice.  Below are some sites that tell how/why RRW was founded and celebrated.
Each day we are promoting our promise to stay drug free by wearing something symbolizing our pledge. 
Tuesday - Wear Red
Wednesday - "Sock it to Drugs" (wear some crazy socks)
Thursday - "Shade Out Drugs" (wear your sunglasses)
Friday - "Put a Cap on Drugs" (wear your favorite hat)
Each morning the students will be selling red ribbons.  There are plain red ribbons for .50 and some special ribbons for $1.00.  Stay tuned for more photos...
