Red Ribbon Week
By Jo

We have done LOTS of things in the past. One of the neater things we did was: We took a piece of plywood and painted it white. Then we went to the third grade class and had them put their handprints on it using different
colors of acrylic paint. The message was "We Pledge to be HANDS OFF Drugs". It hangs outside our elementary building for all to see as they enter. It is impactful. Our elem. is K-3. We always pass out a Red Ribbon Week sticker each day. Our counselor talks with each class about the purpose of Red Ribbon Week and then we let balloons go with our address in them with a drug free message

and our address. We have gotten back messages as far away as Ohio.(we are in Missouri) We also tie ribbons around trees and light poles all over town for the week. Just some ideas.
