Each year, SADD members set up the anticipated, fun-filled, Red Ribbon Week. Red Ribbon Week is a fun way for students to show that they are against using drugs by wearing their “we are drug free” bracelets and dressing up according to the day. Last week, students were able to participate in all the dress up days.

“My favorite day was definitely when we wore red,” said Kaytlyn Elledge.

Monday, students showed they can stomp out drugs by wearing their boots. Tuesday was crazy socks day, and students socked it to drugs. Wednesday, students showed they can team up against drugs by wearing their team shirts. Thursday, was drug free red day, and students wore red. Finally, Friday was inside out day, and students wore their clothing inside out to show that they would not let drugs turn them inside out.

“Throughout the week we saw a lot of support from the student body. It was pretty awesome,” says Maddie Johnson, SADD member.
