Students and staff at Carysbrook Elementary School participated in a national campaign to raise awareness about drug prevention during the week of Oct. 26-30. The fi rst Red Ribbon Cel- ebration was organized in 1988 by the National Family Partnership (NFP). Red ribbons were worn to make a statement about how illegal drugs were impacting communities. This year Carysbrook Ele- mentary participated in this campaign with dress up themes, contests, and classroom guidance les- sons. These activities started students thinking about how illegal drugs can harm their bodies and how they can be prepared for the pressures they may face to experiment with drugs in the fu- ture. Students had fun dressing up for each daily theme. “Red Day”: Red Ribbon week kick off . Students and staff wore red. “Join the fi ght against drugs”: Staff and students wore black or camoufl age. “Use your head, just say No!”: Staff and students wore their favorite hats. “Drugs and alcohol don’t fl y with Flucos”: Staff and students wore Flying Fluco colors Over 800 visitors came to Thistle Gate Vineyard on Nov. 27 and 28 for their art show and or clothing. “We CAN be anything we want to be when we are drug and alcohol free”: Staff craft fair.
