The students of Terrace View Elementary enthusiastically chanted, “Terrace View celebrates a drug-free life!” while they covered the school yard, holding up their handmade Red Ribbon to celebrate the last day of Red Ribbon Week Friday, Oct. 25. Beginning on Tuesday of last week, when red ribbons were tied around trees, the rest of the week’s Red Ribbon activities included Crazy Sock Day, Neon Day, and Friday’s largest celebration: Crazy Hair Day, Favorite Team Jersey Day and Hats Off to a Drug-Free Life Day, all rolled into one. Red Ribbon week is observed by schools around the country in the effort to encourage children to lead drug-free lives. Wearing her hair in a high, pointy style on Friday—Crazy Hair Day—student Allison Lotshaw and her best friend, Hayley Felix, pledged to stay drug free. Last Friday students took their drug-free pledges, written on individual pieces of red ribbon. The pledges were then linked together and presented in a common area for all to see. Terrace View teachers were also participants, helping their students decorate their classroom doors and classrooms in the color red. Tiffany Williams, a Terrace View Elementary PTA member, shared, “What the Red Ribbon chain represents is standing united against drugs among the students of Terrace View Elementary.” Janice Taylor, PTA President, explained, “I am very excited that all the students here at Terrace View Elementary pledged to be drug free, and I am happy that everyone participated in the Red Ribbon Week celebration.” Principal Dr. Joseph Adeyemo shared, “It is a joy to know the children here at Terrace View Elementary are the promise of the future because they have pledged to be drug free. It is a continuation of the start of their brighter futures.”
