Red Ribbon Week Inspires Students to be Drug Free

Last week SFHS held their annual Red Ribbon Week. National Honors Society (NHS) is in charge of putting on the activities for the week. There were many fun activities that encouraged the students to keep their lives free of drugs. The theme for the week was ‘I like me Drug Free.’ On Monday the students all signed pledges to be drug free and put on wristbands to remind them all week. On Tuesday NHS tied red ribbons on the car antennas in the parking lots. Wednesday was door decorating day, and the students all decorated their classroom doors to advertise a drug free life. On Thursday the students signed a poster and wrote what they like to do instead of drugs. The week was finished up on Friday with an assembly where the students were visited by three speakers who told the stories of how they were affected by drug addiction through family members. It inspired the students to live a drug free life and was a good experience for all who were involved. “It reminded me of just how bad drugs are in the world. They have a big effect on society, and I want to stay away from them,” said Hannah Carson, a junior at SFHS.
