On Monday, students wore red and remembered: Always be drug free.
On Tuesday, students wore a bow tie and remembered: Don’t let drugs tie you up.
On Wednesday, students wore crazy socks and remembered: Sock it to drugs.
On Thursday, students wore retro clothes from the ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s and remembered: Don’t let drugs turn your life back in time.
On Friday, students will wear team jerseys and remember: Team up against drugs.
