🎉 Red Ribbon Week is almost here — October 27–31! 🎉
Get ready for a week packed with fun dress-up days, Red Ribbon bracelets, and advisory lessons that celebrate being Drug-Free and Bully-Free!
💥 How it works:
Students can earn one ticket per day by doing two things:
Dressing up according to the theme of the day, and
Wearing their Red Ribbon Week bracelet (provided to everyone!).
Each completed day = one ticket toward our big prize drawing!
🎟️ Advisory teachers will hand out tickets to those that earn them in their homeroom daily. Students will write their first and last name on their ticket and then put it back in your advisory teacher's baggie until Friday.
🎃 Prize Alert!
At Friday’s PAWS Assembly, we’ll draw one lucky winner from EACH team to win a fully-loaded Halloween bucket — packed with candy, soda, and fun surprises! 🍬🥤🎁
✨ Dress-Up Days Lineup:
Monday, Oct. 27: ❤️ RED-Y to be DRUG FREE! (Wear ALL red!)
Tuesday, Oct. 28: ☮️ Say PEACE OUT to DRUGS & BULLIES! (Tie-Dye or Neon Day!)
Wednesday, Oct. 29: 🏈 TEAM UP Against DRUGS! (Sports or Jersey Day!)
Thursday, Oct. 30: 🌙 Follow Your DREAMS — Don’t Do DRUGS! (Pajama Day!)
Friday, Oct. 31: 🐾 PAWS-itively PROUD to be DRUG FREE! (Panther Pride Day!)
Let’s make this the best Red Ribbon Week yet — full of school spirit, fun, and a strong stand for kindness and healthy choices! ❤️#ssis #PantherNation
