Announcements:
Red ribbon week- Red Ribbon week is October 23 through October 31. Each Fall, schools and community organizations across the United States focus on turning young people away from drugs/bad choices during Red Ribbon Week. Red Ribbon Week promotes positive choices, good character, and a healthy lifestyle for children of all ages. This is a good time also, for you to talk with your children about drugs, safety and being the best they can be. Take some time to get involved. Plan some special activities at home to celebrate being drug free/making healthy choices. Some examples are below:
Participate in the OB community wide book study Rules by Cynthia Lord.
Hide Red Ribbons around the house, when they find one they get a coupon to do something special with the family.
Have a Red Ribbon Week Dinner highlighted with red foods.
  • Tie a Red Ribbon around a tree in your yard or ask a neighbor or local business if you can tie some around their trees.
  • Make Red Ribbon placemats with prevention/self esteem messages.
