Red Ribbon Week is just around the corner! More information and supplies will be delivered to your classroom on Friday, October 20th. Monday, October 22nd - Red Ribbon kick-off day! Special message from Joyce. Today’s activities: Pledge cards go home to the parents. Students are encouraged to sign and return the pledge cards and wear red tomorrow. The purpose of Red Ribbon Week is to present a unified and visible commitment towards the creation of a “Drug-Free America” and to develop an attitude of “zero” tolerance to the use of illegal drugs. We have a lot of activities in store for the students, so please encourage them to “wear red” and to be proud! Each day they wear red, they will receive a special prize! Tuesday, October 23rd – Red Wristband day! Special message from Joyce. Today’s activities: Students will receive a red wristband today. Remind students of the saying on their wristbands, “Drug Use is Life Abuse” to show the world they are making a pledge to stay away from drugs. Ask students to wear red socks or clothing tomorrow to show them that they are “socking it” to tobacco, alcohol and other drugs. Local business are giving away special prizes and discounts to students who wear their wristbands, teachers will have a list posted in their classroom. Wednesday, October 24th – Wacky Wednesday! Special message from Joyce. Today’s activities: Wednesday is “Wacky Wednesday”. Students will receive a bookmarker today. Ask students to wear their shirts backwards on Thursday.

This should only take about 1 hour if we have a lot volunteers.

Balloons will need to blown up, bows need to be tied and also banners need to be hung. Should only take about 45 mins, you should have enough time to pick up your child and drop them off at school.
