If an Ada school student in your household is dressing in unusual ways this week, there’s a reason.

It’s Red Ribbon Week, from now through Friday.

This purpose of the week is to bring awareness to the topics of drugs, alcohol and bullying. Each day is a different dress up theme.

For example, Tuesday’s theme was My Dreams, My Future, My Choice, Drug and Bully Free! – Students were encouraged to wear a college shirt, career clothing or uniform.

Wednesday: We have Better Things to do than Drugs or Bullying! –
   Wear a favorite sport, activity or hobby shirt.

Thursday: Rockin' a Drug, Alcohol and Bully Free Life!  –
   Wear a favorite band shirt or dress as your favorite musician

Friday:  Keep Your Paws OFF Drugs and Alcohol! – 
   School Spirit!  Wear Purple and Gold or your Pink Out shirt
