Pawnee Heights Elementary in Burdett, Kansas, capitalized on the popularity of a current game show to reach students. The school acted out “Deal Or No Deal” using paper briefcases. The “contestant” chose a case, then was shown the contents of other cases opened by students playing the “models,” such as an X-Box or laptop computer. The “banker” tempted her with things like looking cool by smoking and freedom from stress with beer. The contestant stayed strong and kept her own case until the very end, a case which held “a long, healthy, happy life.” Your students could reenact this game, too. Reward them for participating and for making good decisions with “My Life, My Choice” Red Satin Ribbons or “My Life, My Choice” Bookmarks.

No Good Deals With Drugs

Clowns Aren’t Scary, Drugs Are!
Drug use is not something to be taken lightly. But this doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with drug-prevention programs. At Cowpens Elementary School in Cowpens, South Carolina, teachers and students dressed as friendly clowns. They wanted to communicate “Don’t clown around with drugs.” The students and staff paraded around outside with anti-drug banners. Then the best clowns were chosen. If you have a clown day and parade, have a few students carry a “Proud Of Our Safe & Drug Free School” Vinyl Banner. Have the rest of the student clowns hold Red Ribbon Week Celebration Balloons .
The Magic Of Music
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.
