Tied with Care: Washington School Prepares for Red Ribbon Week
Third graders at Washington Elementary School helped transform their school grounds by hanging bright red ribbons with school counselor Andrea Sadow in preparation for Red Ribbon Week.
Red Ribbon Week is a national annual campaign teaching students to make healthy, safe, and drug-free choices, focusing on wellness and positive habits.
Healthy Choices: Emphasizing balanced nutrition, activity, sleep, and physical care.
Social-Emotional Strength: Showing kindness, respect, and building supportive relationships.
Safety Awareness: Listening to trusted adults and making safe everyday decisions.
Throughout the week, teachers deliver grade-tailored lessons to reinforce healthy decision-making, resilience, and personal wellness.
