Your Future is Key, So Stay Drug Free Since Red Ribbon

Week once again

falls during our short-

ened week during

parent/teacher confer-

ences we will cele-

brate a week later,

Oct. 30th through Nov. 3rd.

This year’s national theme is “Your

Future is Key, so Stay Drug Free.”

We are going to use this week to help

showcase to students some different

types of professions they can do when

they grow up (with the help of a drug

free lifestyle). The underlying theme

is that there are better things to do in

this world than doing drugs.

We are going to kick off our Red

Ribbon Week activities once again

with our 4th annual staff vs. students

kick ball game. Coach Long will be

our guest speaker and he will bring

along some OHS football players to

try and help our students win this

year’s kickball game and some OHS

cheerleaders to cheer them on.

Other guest speakers for the week

will be Elizabeth Hoffman, news

reporter from KRCG-TV 13, Mindi

Katsov from Mid-America Acro and

Tumbling team, Hunt Tainter, veteri-

narian, and first responders from the

local community.

Our counselor, Ms. Jennings has

several educational and fun activities

planned for the students and with the

help of OHS Ag students and teach-

ers, we will start on the assembly of

our “Only One You” landscape pro-

ject.”

The “Only One You” project is mod-

eled after the book with the same

name by Linda Kranz and is taken

from Sharon Elementary in New-

burgh, Indiana. Students will deco-

rate rocks in art class that will be-

come a part of the front landscaping

at OES. This week is centered on

stressing to our students that there is

only one of them, so they should stay

away from drugs so they can become

whatever they choose to be and leave

their own mark on our world — drug

free.

And as always, we’ll have our Red

Ribbon Spirit Week!!

Oct. 30 -- “Color the Future Red” wear your red

Oct. 31 -- “Don’t Be Trickin’, Treat

Yourself to a Drug Free Future” -wear orange and black

Nov. 1 -- “Believe In Your Future

Self’ - either dress for what you want

to be when you grow up or ‘dress for

success’ and wear dress up clothes

Nov. 2 -- “Don’t Mess Up Your

Future” - wear crazy clothes, back-

wards clothes, crazy hair, etc…

Nov. 3 -- “Hats On to a Successful

Future” - wear your favorite hat

Be sure to talk to your kiddos about

how they can make positive choices,

be the best they can be, and have

better

things to

do than

doing

drugs.

Tricks, trunks, & treats Join us for our annual OES Trunk or

Treat event on Friday, Oct. 20th, 5pm to

8pm on the OES playground.

There will be lots of trunks set up for

treating, food, and games — and best of
