Giving drugs the boot

In October, Crestline Elementary hosted Red Ribbon Week to teach children that “a healthy me is drug free.” 

Speakers talked to children about the risks of alcohol and drug use, and kids had the opportunity to sign posters to pledge to make smart choices for healthy minds and bodies. This program featured games, competitions and theme days such as “Cougars Care About Good Health” when the kids wore Cougar or Spartan colors, “Give Drugs the Boot” when they wore boots and western outfits, “Choose to Be Healthy Inside & Out” when clothes were worn inside-out, and “Choose Heart Healthy” when the kids sported all red clothing and accessories.
