Spring Hope Elementary will be celebrating Red Ribbon Week the week of October 28 – November 1, 2024
Red Ribbon Week is a time when people throughout the nation focus on drug prevention and education. Knowing about the dangers of using alcohol and drugs will help our students to commit to living a life that is safe and drug free. It is important that children develop coping skills now that will help them to say no to alcohol and drugs. Please support our weeklong drug free campaign by encouraging your child to participate in the follow activities:
Monday- October 28th When you’re drug free, your future's so bright! Wear bright colors to school.
Tuesday- October 29th Team Up Against Drugs- Wear your favorite team gear.
Wednesday- October 30th Doing drugs is just plain crazy! Show off your crazy hair and / or your crazy socks.
Thursday- October 31st Drugs aren’t in our character! Dress up as a book character. (No masks, toy weapons, or face paint)
Friday- November 1st Red Ribbon Awareness Day! - Wear as much red as possible to take a stand against drugs.
