❤️ Red Ribbon Week 2026 is here at Rutherford Elementary! ❤️

🚀 It’s time to celebrate healthy choices and show our commitment to living a drug-free life! This year, we are encouraging all our Rutherford students to make positive choices, be kind to themselves and others, and remember that they have the power to create a bright future. 🌟

📅 Here’s our spirit week lineup:

🔴 Monday: Red Day — Live Drug-Free!
Wear RED to show your commitment to a drug-free life!

🦸 Tuesday: Superhero Day — Be a Hero! Say NO to Drugs!
Wear your favorite superhero shirt and remember that making healthy choices is a superpower!

🪖 Wednesday: Camo Day — Drugs Can’t Find Me!
Wear camouflage and show that you’re ready to stand strong against drugs!

🤪 Thursday: Crazy Hair or Wacky Outfit Day — Don’t Get Mixed Up with Drugs!
Show off your craziest hair or wackiest outfit!

🎃 Friday: Costume Day — Say “BOO” to Drugs!
Wear a fun costume! Please remember: no masks, weapons, or bloody accessories.

Let’s make this week fun, meaningful, and full of school spirit as we remind our students that their future is too bright for drugs! ☀️

Families, help us spread the message at home and encourage your student to make safe, healthy choices every day!
