Red Ribbon Week

Red Ribbon Week is an alcohol, tobacco, and other drug and violence prevention awareness campaign observed annually in October in the United States since 1985.  Better Brodhead and Albrecht Elementary School are partnering to celebrate this week October 28th-November 1st. Our theme for this year is; “I Believe In Me, Happy, Healthy and Drug Free”.  Each day will have a focus. Monday we will focus on healthy eating  along with having a Police Officer visit each classroom to read a story about friendship.  The book will then be donated to each classroom. Tuesday, healthy lifestyle will be the focus on staying active and healthy.  ednesday, each class will sign a anti-bullying banner. Thursday, we’ll focus on safety just in time for Halloween. Friday, Y2Y will present to the 4th and 5th graders on the dangers of vaping and how to resist.   Please wear red or your Cardinal gear on Friday to celebrate the last day of Red Ribbon Week!
