Hans Herr Elementary School in Lampeter, Pennsylvania, turned to music to make its Red Ribbon Week a success. Organizers wanted students to “tune out drugs.” Pledge posters said “We promise to march to a drug free beat” and showed a marching band drummer. Children signed the posters, which were placed outside each classroom. Every morning, a gong rung over the loudspeaker. This got everyone’s attention for a mini lesson about drugs. A musical presentation always followed the lessons. These presentations consisted of performances by band members, the instrumental teacher, the band director, and chorus members. For a perfect accompaniment to a week of music at your school, try the “I Tune Out Drugs” Bookmark or the “I Tune Out Drugs” Value Packs.
