Texas Elementary School Celebrates Red Ribbon Week

From Ennis Daily News in Texas:

In recognition of drug-free month and Red Ribbon Week, “Ennis Independent School District Police Chief Ross Jones spoke to Bowie Elementary students Monday about the importance of staying drug free.”

Jones warned the students about inhalants and said, “We need them to love themselves. When they do that they know not to put anything in their body that would hurt them.”

For the week, each day had a creative theme to promote being drug-free.
  • On Monday, drug-free bracelets were distributed and students signed drug free pledge cards
  • On Tuesday, it was “Trash out Drugs” where students helped support the new recycling program at the school.
  • Wednesday was “plant the promise and stomp out drugs.” Students wore sunglasses and boots and planted wildflowers in designated areas.
  • On Thursday, students will ““sock it to drugs” by wearing silly socks and attending a motivational assembly.
  • Friday is “Hugs not Drugs” day, with students bringing stuffed animals to school.
