STE. GENEVIEVE – Red Ribbon Week will be Oct. 27-31 in Ste. Genevieve.
Last week, students from the Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) organization gathered at city hall with Ste. Genevieve Mayor Brian Keim and Police Chief Dan Halek to sign a Proclamation declaring Oct. 27 – 31 to be Red Ribbon Week in Ste. Genevieve.
Throughout the week, teachers will share lessons and discussions provided through Red Ribbon Week resources to make connections with the week’s programming.
Third grade, elementary and preschools and daycares will experience presentations from the Ste. Genevieve Police Department and the Ste. Genevieve County Sheriff’s Office, as well as meet our local K-9 units!
Think First Assemblies will be held for Ste. Genevieve County high school students at the SG R-II Performing Arts Center.
This foundation creates education programs aimed at helping people learn to reduce their risk for injury.
Their presentations share how an injury can change a person’s life forever and how important it is to make safe choices.
Ste. Genevieve County R-II schools will celebrate the theme through dress-up days, which were created by SGHS SADD students!
Businesses and schools who would like to participate can see the list of dress-up days below!
- Monday: Turn your back on drugs — Inside-Out Clothes
- Tuesday: Life is a Puzzle – solve it drug-free — Twin Day
- Wednesday: Drugs make me see red — Wear Red
- Thursday: I’ve got better things to do than drugs — Hobby Day
- Friday: Be strong, Be True, Be You Drug Free — Dress as a Superhero
On Wednesday, community members are encouraged to join in and wear red to show support for the goal of working to support a drug-free community.
Local businesses and organizations are invited to wear red ribbons with the students and staff throughout the week.
The local schools would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to those local businesses and organizations who continue to help support Red Ribbon Week in our community.
