and staff. No, it is not an early Christmas present. It’s the entire school community showing their support against drugs. During the week of October 23 - 31, the National Red Ribbon Campaign Week for a Drug-Free America, students write stories, poems, songs, and raps, saying NO to drugs. These are read and sung throughout the week over the loud speaker and published in the school bulletin and local papers. The students and staff sign drug-free pledges and poster sign-up sheets,

and do classroom activities leading to drug-free promises. Be on the lookout at the Five Star Grocery in North Liberty. All the North Liberty Elementary students participate in designing Red Ribbon Week pictures on the grocery bags that the shoppers carry home. A special thank you goes to the Five Star grocery for providing the opportunity for all the children and the community to get involved. Red balloons are everywhere when the winners of the Red Ribbon Poster contest are announced. All students can participate in the art contest. The posters are all on display either at the school, in the community merchant’s windows, or at the high school. Everyone wins when they take part in the Red Ribbon Campaign. The wearing of the red is special to the students and staff at North Liberty Elementary School. Those students who help organize the activities this year are the Red Ribbon representatives, sixth grade students, Kyle Anderson, Alena Bogucki, Jennifer Gensinger, Matt Hummel, Kyle Norris, Aaron Replogle, and Ryan Sheaks. Mrs. Cynthia Williams, North Liberty Elementary School Dean of Students, is the coordinator of the program. The North Liberty PT A and the Drug-Free Schools Grant helps to sponsor the Red Ribbon activities.
