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!

Better Brodhead’s Star Wars Photo Booth at Brodhead Night Out

Brodhead Night Out was amazing this year!!  It was held at Jaycees Park on August 21st from 5-9pm.  Law enforcement had a dunk tank and a number of our enforcement officers got a bit wet.  There was horse painting! Fire and rescue gave rides in the ladder trunk.  There was a climbing wall, a seat belt simulator, giant bubbles, free hot dogs,  and free donuts. Many non-profits were there with educational information and activities for the youth.

Better Brodhead had another photo booth at the event!  This year’s theme was Star Wars.  Youth and adults joined in the fun by dressing up in costumes and having their photos taken in front of our galaxy backdrop.  Check out the photos – you may see some local celebrities!
