Student leaders took the mic (or phone) this week to jump-start Red Ribbon Week each day across the Ranch!
Through daily morning announcements, students took the lead in promoting positive, healthy choices.
Thank you for encouraging your child(ren) to participate in our daily spirit dress-up themes and sign the Red Ribbon pledge wall in the main cafeteria during lunch!
