Red Ribbon Week '15

Red Ribbon Week is an alcohol, tobacco, & other drug & violence prevention awareness campaign observed each year during October. Schools use this time to put extra focus on student awareness, & add fun element of themed/dress up days. Taylor's school chose not to do any dressing up this year, but the other boys were able to.  Here are a few of the themed pics...

Timothy opted out of 2 days (guess he wasn't really into wearing his favorite band t-shirt or a Disney shirt!), but here are pics from the days he did participate -

"Team Up Against Drugs"

(favorite team shirt)



"Big Red Day"

(red shirt)

"Be All You Can Be, Drug Free"

(camo shirts)

 

Meanwhile over at Tanner's school...

"Join the Fight Against Drugs!"

(camo shirts or shorts)

"Team Up Against Drugs!"

(favorite team shirt)

"We Are Too SUPER For Drugs!"

(favorite superhero shirt, cape, or accessory)

On this day, the class also celebrated Mrs. Burkett's birthday! She will turn 40 on October 31, Halloween!! All of the students brought homemade bday cards & gift cards to her favorite places & she was surprised with the cards, plus cake & super cute decorations. It was lots of fun & Tanner was just happy to have birthday cake!

"We Are Not Falling For Drugs!"

(this was fall festival day & students wore fall festival shirts)

Whether dressing up or not, these guys know about the dangers of drugs & alcohol, through what they learn at school & home. We're glad to have this week each year to reinforce it. It's also fun to have themed days & find things to match them! The boys really get into that. Wonder where they get that from?!
