Last week the Middle School students celebrated National Red Ribbon week with a variety of activities. Each day during the daily announcements facts relating to drugs, alcohol and the body were read to students. Monday and Wednesday students received a pencil and a tattoo promoting a drug and alcohol free life. Tuesday students wore sunglasses to shade out drugs and wore red on Thursday for the color of the national campaign. Also, during Mrs. Coup's language arts classes, students signed a banner to live a drug and alcohol free life! All events were sponsored by Student Council. Written by Amanda Hawkins
