BWF Red Ribbon Week

Brookwood Forest Elementary celebrated National Red Ribbon Week Oct. 22- 26 with the theme “Elect To Be A Champion.” This campaign, also known as Anti-Drug and Alcohol Awareness, kicked off at BWF on Oct. 19 with a speech from Mountain Brook High School football Coach Chris Yeager to fourth through sixth graders about making good choices.

BWF students participated in the campaign by dressing for a different theme each day of the following week. On “Shade Out Drugs” they wore sunglasses, and on “Be a Champion” they wore their favorite team jersey. Students got to enjoy a healthy snack in their classrooms and wear their favorite hat on Tuesday for “Hats Off To Healthy Choices.”  

Families all over Brookwood Forest placed red bows on their mailboxes in support of the campaign, which encourages children to make wise decisions where drugs and alcohol are concerned. BWF Red Ribbon Week committee chairs were Gayle Jones and Amanda Sharp.
