Red Ribbon Week


In 1988, National Family Partnership (NFP) sponsored the first National Red Ribbon Celebration. Today, the Red Ribbon serves as a catalyst to mobilize communities to educate youth and encourage participation in drug prevention activities. Since that time, the campaign has reached millions of U.S. children and families. The National Family Partnership (NFP) and its network of individuals and organizations continue to deliver his message of hope to millions of people every year, through the National Red Ribbon Campaign®.

Students will be encouraged to dress up for a Red Ribbon Theme Week Monday, October 28- Thursday, October 31. On October 31, students are permitted to wear school appropriate costumes. Students who dress up will be able to participate in the student parade of costumes each week. 

Please no masks or dripping makeup. If you have any questions regarding a costume, please do not hesitate to call the school. 

Stay tuned for each day's theme for the spirit week.
