Elementary School Celebrated Red Ribbon Week the week of October 20
through October 24 with a variety of activities. This years’ theme
was Heroes Stand Up Against Drugs.
Every day, students dressed up to show that they were not going to
let drugs be a part of their lives. Monday was Crazy Sock Day. Everyone
wore their craziest socks to show that they were going to sock it
to drugs.
On Tuesday, everyone donned a crazy hairdo to show that they had better
things to “do” than drugs. Wednesday had students and teachers alike
wearing their pajamas and slippers. Thursday everyone got out their
pocket protectors and dressed up for Nerd day to show the world they
were too smart to do drugs.
On Friday there were two rallies where students came together to celebrate
their decision to live drug free lives. All of the students wore red
to show their school spirit. Classes decorated wagon floats that represented
the weeks’ theme. There were two parades so that all of the classes
could show off their artistic talents.
Each class had two representatives who described their float and told
why the class decided on the theme. The winners for the kindergarten
through fourth grades were: third place a tie between Katy Penton’s
kindergarten and Josh Jones’ fourth grade class; second place, Rick
Cano’s second grade class and Becky Cano’s class came in first place.
The winners for the fifth through eighth grade rally were Vernon Johnson’s
class in third place, Kathy Anderson’s eighth grade class in second
place and in first place was Robert Jackson’s eighth grade class.
All of the classes put in a lot of time and effort on their floats.
Each class showed not only who their heroes were but also that they
were able to come up with ideas to occupy their time other than getting
involved in drugs and show a great deal of school spirit at the same
time.
The week was a great success. Students got a chance to get involved
and learn the importance of leading a drug free lifestyle.
