During the week of October 28th- November 1st, all Wayne County Schools staff and students celebrate National Red Ribbon Week. This week has come to symbolize a nationwide commitment to increase public awareness of drug abuse and to promote a healthy, drug-free lifestyle. Although drugs, alcohol, and violence continue to affect our families and our communities, we CAN fight back!
Families,
We have developed activities that will be implemented throughout the week to model a commitment from our staff to our students that we support a drug-free community. We hope that you will show your support for this initiative by reinforcing with your child/children the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and helping them to say NO to drug abuse, alcohol abuse, and violence, and to say YES to healthy habits.
Each day throughout the week, students and staff will support the Red Ribbon initiative by dressing up daily in various themes and host daily celebrations. Please refer to the events listed below and encourage your child to participate.
