DIXON— Dixon Schools recently celebrated Red Ribbon Week with a different theme every day.
On Monday students wore all red to kick off Red Ribbon Week. Then on Tuesday, students wore
mismatched clothes, socks and shoes to express the message, “Don’t get mixed up with drugs.”
Sunglasses, bright neon/tie-died clothes worn on Wednesday represented, “I’m too bright for drugs.” Kids wore pajamas Thursday to say, “Follow your dreams, not drugs.” Finally on Friday students wore “Bison Proud” and school-colors in their clothing to express their drug free pride.
Some seventh and eighth grade students went into elementary classrooms during the Red Ribbon Week and taught a fun drug prevention lesson using Dr. Seuss.
On Friday every student got to plant a red tulip in our school garden. The tulips stand as reminders that they chose to be drug free. The kids are all excited to see when their tulips will bloom.
