Celebrate Red Ribbon Week (Oct. 23 – 31)
Dear Park Avenue Parents/Guardians:
This year’s Red Ribbon theme (Celebrate Life and Be Drug Free) is a reminder that everyday Americans across the country make significant daily contributions to their communities by being the best they can be because they live Drug-Free! It also serves as a reminder that we are all empowered with shaping the communities around us through positivity, bravery and strength. Though the message of Red Ribbon Week is centered around being drug and alcohol free, since our students are young, we plan to focus on respecting our bodies and brains, making healthy choices and making positive contributions to our community. We encourage you to have your child participate in our school wide Red Ribbon Week by having your child dress with the following in mind.
| Date | Message to Students | How We’ll Show This |
| Monday, October 24th | Respect our bodies and brains and make healthy choices | Everyone wear something RED to show your pledge for a healthy lifestyle |
Tuesday – October 25th | Your choices are the keys to your dreams | Wear your favorites pajamas (NO slippers please) |
Wednesday – October 26th | Don’t get tied up with negative choices | Wear a tie today pledging to make good choices for a happy and healthy lifestyle |
Thursday – October 27th | Sock it to unhealthy and unsafe choices | Wear BRIGHT socks to focus on positive choices for a positive future |
Friday – October 28th | Our future is too bright for drugs and we’ve got the spirit to dream big! | Wear purple and gold or Park Avenue spirit wear |
Thank you in advance for having your children participate in Red Ribbon Week!
