Red Ribbon week, sponsored by JagPRIDE is held to educate students and staff of the dangers of drugs and alcohol. During the week of Oct. 22- 26 JagPRIDE encouraged students to help spread the word by decorating their seminar classroom door. Each door had a theme that tied into being drug free.

Senior Kelly Spring helped out by decorating communication arts teacher Kristen Crosbie’s door.

“Our theme was ‘Don’t Get Wrapped Up In Drugs,’” Spring said. “We wanted to make Crosbie proud by decorating her door and we also wanted to win the prize for best door.”

Freshman Maria Gilbert helped choir director Sheree Stoppel with her door decorations. Paper plates and pictures of healthy food choices were used to portray their ‘Eating Right’ theme.

“We want people to be aware of healthy choices,” Gilbert said. “We also wanted to spread school spirit by participating in the competition for best door.”
