This week is Red Ribbon Week, which is an alcohol, tobacco, and other drug and violence prevention awareness campaign observed annually in October in the United States. We will be sharing 2 facts each day - one related to cigarettes or vaping and the other related to a different drug or substance.
Today’s Red Ribbon Week tobacco fact is shocking. There are 88 million people in America who are exposed to secondhand smoke.
Drinking is more harmful to teens than adults because their brains are still developing throughout adolescence and well into young adulthood.

Hey, Sixth Graders! One of the biggest causes of bullying and disrespect at school is when students don’t know each other. Let’s change that. Bring your lunch to Mix-It-Up Day tomorrow, Tuesday, October 24th, under the lunch shelter. Meet other sixth graders and a lot of 7th and 8th grade student leaders. Mix it up! This event is brought to you by the Diversity Gay Straight Alliance.
