Middle School students observed "Red Ribbon Week," a week focusing on drug prevention awareness. While the campaign's message is very serious, students reinforced learning with fun activities such as a lunch rally, balloon toss, red dress day, and most importantly a "natural high" video message and discussion during class.
We pray that our students will be "unshakable" in their commitment to living a drug abuse free life in Christ.
