One way you can support teens NOT using ATOD (alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs) is to participate in the Red Ribbon Week dress-up days:
Thursday (Oct. 28): Crazy Sock Day—“Sock it to Drugs!”
Friday (Oct. 29 half-day): Sunglasses Day—“Shade out drugs!”
Are you good at trivia? Try the Red Ribbon Week Principal’s Daily Trivia Challenge. Each day a new question(s) about the effects of teen use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs will be announced. Submit your answers using the daily Google Form in your email after you hear the announcements. The daily prize winner can be announced during 6th hour.
Here is the Red Ribbon Week question of the day:
