During the next 2 weeks, Hatton and Northwood schools will be celebrating Red Ribbon Week. This week is in honor of a DEA officer that was kidnapped and murdered while on duty. Our goal for this week is to teach students, parents, and community about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. We also want to support the bullying prevention programs at our schools, so that is a part of these weeks.
You may notice red ribbons tied around trees in both communities. This is to remind us to be drug free. Students have also put drug free slogans on grocery bags. They will be available at the grocery stores in both communities.
FCCLA members are sponsoring Red Ribbon Week in both schools and will be giving educational presentations to students in grades k-8. Students will be signing a drug free pledge. On Friday, both schools will be celebrating with a BYOB (Bring Your Own Banana) Party.
