Last week was Red Ribbon Week at our school and I absolutely loved it. Red Ribbon Week is my favorite week of the whole school year. This year the PTA had a kick off assembly the Friday before. The kids got to sing the Halloween songs they've been learning in music, and then I had to get up in front of the school and explain why we have Red Ribbon Week. I then called Mrs. Wise up and we had the kids recite a drug free pledge and pinky swear to their friends that they wouldn't do drugs. The following week we began our Red Ribbon Week festivities. The kids colored and signed their names to socks, which were hung in the foyer, to "sock it to drugs." They did drug free activities in their classrooms and received either a water bottle, pencil, bracelet, or candy each day from the PTA that had a drug free reminder. Friday we had an assembly and my awesome hubby and his good friend Jeff Wood talked to the kids about drugs and the effects they have on their bodies. Connor and his friends did a peer pressure skit and then Rory came out in his SWAT gear to show the kids what the good guys wear if there is ever an emergency at the school.
