All Aboard!

Surprise children with a trackless party train for Red Ribbon Week. The kid-sized trains can be rented and arrive with a “conductor” who does the operating. Provide hints of the surprise by setting up toy trains around your school. Put the words “Don’t Derail Your Life With Drugs” on a bulletin board along with train imagery. Work with teachers to schedule train rides for classes all throughout one day. Give each student a two-part raffle ticket, one part to be used for admission onto the train and the other to be used in a raffle for “My Life, My Choice... Drug Free” 2-Sided Silicone Bracelets. Hand out “My Life, My Choice...Drug Free” Red Satin Ribbons at the end of each train ride. Evansville Psychiatric Children’s Center in Evansville, Indiana, made its train extra special by decorating it with red and white balloons and streamers as well as a Red Ribbon Week banner.
