Red Ribbon Week





Today marks the end of Red Ribbon Week at Saint Mary School. Yesterday we had a performance called The Power of One that exposed us to different types of bullying (verbal, physical, cyber) and taught us how to stop the cycle of bullying. Today, as a school, we "Chalked the Walk" with anti-drug and anti-bullying messages. We participated in several other activities, including wearing red, wearing ribbons and Minute-to-Win-it games during the lunch periods, that allowed us to stop and think about all the great things we have in our lives BECAUSE of the safe and healthy choices that we make. HUGE THANKS to our student council officers Alycia, Natalie, John and Claire, and the classroom representatives, for decorating our school and organizing and running the games at lunch time. You helped deliver a very successful Red Ribbon Week!
