Red Ribbon Week: October 26–30

Red Ribbon Week is an annual awareness campaign that teaches elementary students the importance of making safe, healthy choices and staying drug-free. At TJ Austin, we will celebrate with a week of fun spirit days to promote kindness, positive choices, and a drug-free lifestyle!

Monday – Team Up Against Drugs and Bullying!
Wear your favorite sports team gear. Let’s be a team that stands strong against drugs and bullying!

Tuesday – Lei Off Being Mean and Drugs!
Wear your Hawaiian attire. Let’s spread aloha, show kindness, and be the positive change we want to see in the world!

Wednesday – Twin Up to Team Up Against Drugs and Bullying!
Dress like a twin with a friend! Surround yourself with people who encourage, support, and inspire you to make good choices.

Thursday – Don’t Get Mixed Up with Bullying or Drugs!
Wear mismatched or inside-out clothing. Be goofy, have fun, and remember that it’s okay to be different! Choose kindness instead of bullying.

Friday – Have Character, Don’t Get Mixed Up with Drugs!
Dress as your favorite book character.
Costumes must be school-appropriate, and masks are not allowed. Students wearing inappropriate costumes will be asked to change.

Let’s make Red Ribbon Week a fun and meaningful celebration by choosing kindness, making healthy decisions, and staying drug-free!
