Usually, making and flying paper airplanes is frowned upon at school. Students from St. Matthias Transfiguration School in Chicago, Illinois, were asked to create paper airplanes as part of Red Ribbon Week. The activity was named “Drugs Don’t Fly With Us,” which is what the students said as they let go of the planes. Expand on this theme by hanging model and toy airplanes around your school. In each grade level, award an “I Pledge To Be Drug Free” Dog Tag or Key Ring Light to the student whose airplane travels the farthest.
Leaders unite with the common goal of raising a generation of drug-free children who make healthy choices. The good news is that, thanks to creative approaches to anti-drug education, Red Ribbon Week has captured the attention of millions of young people.
