Educating students about the dangers of drug, tobacco and alcohol use are part of the Red Ribbon Week campaign. Students at all levels are encourage to take part in developing anti-drug messages. You can see these messages in the hallways in the middle and high school. The elementary developed banners that were hung around the playground.
School counselor Susan Weaselhead developed the elementary banner concepts and had them painted by individual elementary classes. While each student in the elementary contributed to the painting of a letter or figure, Weaselhead talked to them about the dangers of drugs (see photo below). Providing students with information for making healthy life choices is most effective if it is done at younger ages. Red Ribbon Week provides our school the opportunity to celebrate healthy choices with students.
Special thanks goes out to our counseling staff: Susan Weaselhead and Leah Dahlin for their contributions in celebrating Red Ribbon Week. The message to our students was loud and clear. Well done!
