| “Red
Ribbon Week” is America’s most important drug prevention
event and is celebrated nationally every October between the 22nd
and 26th by thousands of schools. This campaign was originally started
by parents to show their commitment to providing a drug free future
for our nation’s youth. The “Red Ribbons” were
worn in honor of a United States law officer named Enrique who lost
his life while trying to stop the drug gangs. The main emphasis
has been to just “Say No to Drugs.” Today we wear ribbons,
bracelets, buttons, etc. to help deliver a powerful message that
will encourage our students to take a stand against drugs. See the
week's activities below:

At
Saigling we are encouraging our students to participate in a variety
of school wide activities that are promoted daily through slogans
and catchy phrases delivered during the morning announcements. Additionally
the students will learn ways to stay away from drugs and other harmful
substances during guidance lessons. To help empower students, the
focus has been expanded to include having respect for, and standing
up for yourself, by making wise and healthy choices. Thus our theme
is simply, “be mindful of choices.”
* On Monday, students will be given wrist bands to be worn all week. * On Wednesday, students will be given the opportunity to sign a personal pledge card against drugs. |
