EVENTS
Red Ribbon Week
October 26–30, 2026 — a week of daily themes, prizes, and drug-free fun for every grade.
All Week Long
On Monday the Student Council will hand out numbered red ribbons carrying a DRUG FREE message for students to wear all week.
Daily drawings. After morning prayers each day, the Student Council will draw ten numbers matching the numbers on the red ribbons. Students whose numbers are drawn win a “Drug Free” prize — a football, a water bottle, and more — as long as they are wearing their ribbon.
Drug-free lessons. Teachers will lead Drug Free lessons in Health classes throughout the week.
Door decorating contest. Every classroom is invited to decorate its door with a drug-free or Halloween theme. The Student Council will vote on their favorite, and the winning class receives a sweet treat!
Halloween bucket raffle. Student Council members will sell tickets all week on two Halloween buckets filled with “Better Things to Do Than Drugs.” The buckets will be chanced off on Friday. Tickets are $0.25 each or five for $1.00.
