AAA high school students visited the elementary campus this morning to collaborate on a poster project! The students worked together to make posters for Red Ribbon Week and then hung them around the school.
7th graders made a poster today for Red Ribbon Week. They hung it up in the main hallway so that all students can sign the pledge to "Be Kind to Your Mind and Live Drug Free!"
Students are getting ready for Red Ribbon Week! This year's theme is "Be Kind To Your Mind. Live Drug Free." At school, students will engage in activities that promote a drug free and healthy lifestyle. Please partner with us and discuss this message at home, at the dinner table, at family outings, and with friends and extended family. Do you need help talking to your child about drugs?
