Winner Elementary School celebrated Red Ribbon Week Oct. 26-29. The purpose of the week is to raise awareness about the dangers of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.
A discussion was held on “healthy drugs” (medicine) and taking or using them in the right way. The students have also been talking about keeping each other safe from bullies which was a part of safety week. Monday was SOCK it to drugs and bullying day and the kids wore crazy socks. Tuesday was DREAMS of a bright future and the students got to wear their pajamas. Wednesday was Red Out drugs day and the students wore as much red as possible. Thursday was I Can say no to drugs and bullying—students were to bring a canned food item to donate to the food pantry.
Through the generosity of the Winner Elementary students, families and school staff the school was able to donate seven boxes of nonperishable food items to the pantry.
