Red Ribbon Week
This year’s theme is Make PAWS-itive Choices- Be Drug Free! “Red Ribbon Week” is a national program which emphasizes the need to develop drug free schools and communities. Students will be celebrating Red Ribbon Week all week long by participating in various activities here at Groveland! This year, teachers will keep track of who is wearing their RED RIBBONS EACH DAY! At the end of the week, students who wore their ribbon all week long will receive a POWER PAW and be entered into a raffle by grade level.
