Da Vinci Schools Celebrates Red Ribbon Week Oct. 23-27

October 18, 2023 by Emily Shapiro

Students are getting ready for Red Ribbon Week® here at Da Vinci Communications, Design, and Science!

What Is Red Ribbon Week? It is a way for people and communities to unite and take a visible stand against drugs and celebrate healthy lifestyle choices and habits. We hope to have students show their personal commitment to a drug-free and healthy lifestyle through participation in various activities October 23 – 27th. We will have a “wear red day” and see health related content in classes and presentations.

This year’s theme is: “Be Kind To Your Mind. Live Drug Free”. We hope to strengthen anti-drug-use attitudes and norms through sharing information. Please partner with us and discuss this message at home, at the dinner table, at family outings, and with friends and extended family. Ask your child to tell you about things they hear at school about Red Ribbon Week®!
