“Don’t Monkey Around With Drugs,” and “Make Good Choices,” were some of the class messages chanted during the assembly held Friday, Nov. 16, marking the end of Red Ribbon Week for St. Mary’s students.
“Life’s a Kick – Drug-Free,” the theme of the week, mixed serious messages with fun activities. “Don’t Let Drugs Twist Your Life” hand-outs were presented to classrooms on a day that students sported mix-match clothing.
Class messages were written and incorporated into sidewalk chalk drawings, where their message could be shared with all students on the playground.
Red tulips were planted along the front of the school by all classrooms, and will provide a reminder of the Red Ribbon Week message when they appear next spring.
And “Life’s a Kick Drug Free” was the theme for Friday’s assembly. Students dressed in red, listened to a message delivered by Officer Kirchberger, announced their class messages and select students participated in a soccer kick contest, with winners receiving a miniature soccer ball.
