Red Ribbon Week is coming!

National Red Ribbon Week will be observed from October 23 - 31 this year!

 

Join with our NMS Students in showing your support for a drug-free world!  This year's theme is

"Love yourself - Be Drug Free!"

 

There are several activities going on in conjunction with Red Ribbon Week at NMS, including a poster contest, Student Drug-Free Pledges, "The Wheel of Misfortune" lunchtime game, spirit week, and even the parent pledge!

We could use some parent volunteers.  If you want to help, check out this link:

We also ask parents to read and sign the parents pledge:

 

Sign the Red Ribbon Pledge

 

Take the Red Ribbon Pledge now and be a part of the creation of a drug free America. 

What's the Pledge about?

1. As parents and citizens, we will talk to our children and the children in our lives about the dangers of drug abuse.
2. We will set clear rules for our children about not using drugs.
3. We will set a good example for our children by not using illegal drugs or medicine without a prescription.
4. We will monitor our children's behavior and enforce appropriate consequences, so that our rules are respected.
5. We will encourage family and friends to follow the same guidelines to keep children safe from substance abuse.

I pledge to set guidelines to help children grow up safe, healthy and drug-free.
