Red Ribbon Week!

Red Ribbon Week is one of my favorite weeks of the year!  Usually I google "Red Ribbon themes" and pick one already created.  This year, however, I decided to branch out and make up my own theme.  Capitalizing on the "Frozen" frenzy I chose them theme "Be Magical, Be Drug Free".  Our teachers participated in a door decorating contest with the prize being two days of duty free lunch, we had theme days (a picture of hero day is below), and a pep rally at the end of the week.  Local law enforcement, firefighters, and EMT workers were invited to have lunch with us on Hero Day.  The teachers and kids had a great time celebrating a drug free lifestyle and it really made the counseling program POP!
