If an Ada school student in your household is dressing in unusual ways this week, there’s a reason.
It’s Red Ribbon Week, from now through Friday.
This purpose of the week is to bring awareness to the topics of drugs, alcohol and bullying. Each day is a different dress up theme.
For example, Tuesday’s theme was My Dreams, My Future, My Choice, Drug and Bully Free! – Students were encouraged to wear a college shirt, career clothing or uniform.
Wednesday: We have Better Things to do than Drugs or Bullying! –
Wear a favorite sport, activity or hobby shirt.
Thursday: Rockin' a Drug, Alcohol and Bully Free Life! –
Wear a favorite band shirt or dress as your favorite musician
Friday: Keep Your Paws OFF Drugs and Alcohol! –
School Spirit! Wear Purple and Gold or your Pink Out shirt
