Red Ribbon Week is an annual event at our school. The students can choose to wear red ribbons or buttons and tie red ribbons around trees, fences, etc. signifying that they are drug-free. The focus is on understanding the effects of drugs, cigarettes, and alcohol to help them make an informed commitment to keeping their bodies free from these deadly substances. The week includes various lessons taught by doctors, addicts, skits, and direct discussions with the children.
Our 5th through 8th graders heard Mrs. Engstrom tell her very
graphic and pointed story of what smoking did to her. Her testimony was
blunt and honest and it caused the kids to really think about this dangerous
habit that is costing this woman her life... Tony Trunzo, a good friend to the students, gives his personal
testimonial of mistakes he made... Four friends join into the commitment... Our students take a stand against drugs... ...against tobacco... ...and against alcohol... |
