National Red Ribbon Week came to an end Thursday.
The theme for this year’s week, which occurs each year from Oct. 23-31, was “Life Is a Movie, Film Drug Free.”
This creative theme was submitted by Cheryl Holsapfel, Digital Art Teacher, and Devansh Aggarwal from Solon Middle School. It serves as a powerful reminder that ordinary Americans nationwide con- tribute significantly to their communities every day by embracing a drug-free lifestyle.
The annual Red Ribbon Week Theme Contest, sponsored by the National Family Partnership, attracts millions of submissions across the nation, inviting participants to craft slogans that embody the campaign’s mission. “Life is A Movie, Film Drug Free.” was selected because it inspires individuals to play their part in fostering safe, healthy and drug-free communities. From healthcare professionals to educators, parents and beyond, the theme underscores the collective impact achievable through dedication and commitment.
Okmulgee County schools have kicked off the week with programs and themes to promote living drug free.
