October 26th - October 30th 

Our school is excited to celebrate Red Ribbon Week, October 23–31, a nationwide campaign that brings schools, families, and communities together to promote healthy, drug-free choices. Throughout the week, students will have opportunities to learn how to make healthy decisions, build positive relationships, and have the confidence to say no to harmful substances.  

Here at New Providence Elementary, we focus on choosing a healthy lifestyle!

 NPE Students will participate in fun, age-appropriate activities throughout the week, including:

• Watching daily educational Red Ribbon Week videos

• Including Red Ribbon Week messages in morning announcements

• Decorating paper or fabric superhero capes while discussing how heroes stay healthy and safe

• Participating in positive skits, talent shows, and other activities that highlight students' strengths and hobbies

• Having age-appropriate conversations about substance use and healthy choices

Red Ribbon Week is a key initiative that promotes healthy, drug-free living. By understanding its significance and actively participating, parents can play a crucial role in shaping a drug-free future for their children and their communities.
