Candlelight Walk
My school district has a Candlelight Walk in which EVERY school participates. The event, held at our high school football field, recognizes student essay contest winners and involves a district walk around campus,drug free pledge, and more!
Pictures from our 2010 Candlelight Walk can be found here.

Daily Video Messages
During Red Ribbon Week 2011, Tim sent video messages to the entire school staff.
|
|
Teachers shared these video messages with their students. Surprisingly, even our oldest students enjoyed and looked forward to these videos. It was a great opportunity to build connections between our primary and intermediate students. *These videos were created using our school's Flip camera. |

Poster Contest
|
During my first Red Ribbon Week, I held a poster contest for students K-6.
The winners were announced on Friday's morning announcements and posters were hung in the hallways. You can have little prizes for the winners, but it's certainly not required.

Morning Announcements
I spoke on the announcements each day during Red Ribbon Week. We had a daily message, poem, and drug free awareness song.
Global Dignity Day
|
|
One of the school counselors in my district forwarded me this video and lesson. Her goal was to use Global Dignity as inspiration for her school's Red Ribbon Week events.
"In a world where it seems no-one agrees on anything, a world where politics divides, religion divides, and race and even cultural borders seem to divide, dignity is something that everyone can agree on." - Global Dignity Co-Founders -

Auto Rap
|
|
Lisa Landy, a fellow school counselor, shared this awesome app called AutoRap, which turns your speech into a rap beat of your choosing.
You can check out Lisa's rap here (screen shot below). She used AutoRap to give her Red Ribbon Week pledge a boost and I have to say, it sounds pretty awesome.
