Red Ribbon Week, which was the week of October 27, is the largest and longest-running annual campaign dedicated to drug prevention. Beyond spreading awareness of the dangers of drug and alcohol use, Red Ribbon Week also presents an excellent opportunity to teach students about the benefits of building lifelong healthy habits physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Penn-Trafford School District took part in the event, with each school adopting themes for each day to reinforce the dangers of drugs and alcohol.
Ms. Hlavsa’s first-grade class at Level Green Elementary caught up on some ZZZZs on pajama day
Trafford Middle School students Capri Cortazzo and Sophia Braun dress as FBI and Secret Spy on a rhyme-duo day themed "There’s No Rhyme or Reason to Do Drugs!"
