Red Ribbon Week Kickoff

Beginning on Monday, our school will observe Red Ribbon Week and promote the National campaign for drug awareness and prevention. Our Red Ribbon Week coordinator asked several students to help perform a skit this morning at Friday Flag Salute as a kickoff to next week'e events. Although a little nervous, Taylor was excited to participate! They just looked so cute before we left for school this morning!

The theme this year is "Let's Wipe Out Drugs. Just Say No Way Dude!" Mr. McSurf and the Wavettes did a little dance number to WIPEOUT to get the kickoff started.
Then some of the 4th and 5th grade students explained what would be the theme for each day next week.
MONDAY- "Isle" say no to drugs- dress in hawaiian clothes
TUESDAY- Don't get burned by drugs- wear red from head to toe
WEDNESDAY- "Lei" off drugs- wear a hawaiian lei
THURSDAY- Get radical dude, stay away from drugs-crazy hair and clothes day
FRIDAY- Keep your cool, just say NO- wear hats and sunglasses

It should be a great week with a very powerful message!
