RED RIBBON WEEK - OCTOBER 19-23, 2009
This week we are observing "Red Ribbon Week" at Stevenson. It is a national awareness campaign that begin in 1985 to serve as a vehicle for communities and individuals to take a stand for the hopes and dreams of our children through a commitment to drug prevention and education.
There will be various age appropriate activities going on throughout the week to promote healthy choices and to teach our students to be responsible and safe. This is a good week to have conversations or read books regarding this subject as they will be hearing about it school and can open communication that can sometimes be hard to initiate.
To assist you, here are some age appropriate reading choices on the subject of making good choices, being healthy and resisting peer pressure.
