Stanley County Schools are set to engage the community with two significant events by the end of October. These events aim to promote unity, acceptance, and drug prevention among students.
United Day: Standing Against Bullying
The first event, United Day, will take place on Wednesday, October 22nd. This day is dedicated to encouraging students to stand up against bullying and foster acceptance in school settings. Community involvement is crucial for the success of this event.
- Individuals are encouraged to wear orange as a show of solidarity.
- Local businesses and residents can display orange decorations.
- Supportive messages can be added to the school’s Unity Tree.
- Community members are invited to post messages on the Stanley County School event page.
Red Ribbon Week: Promoting a Drug-Free Lifestyle
Following United Day, Stanley County Schools will observe Red Ribbon Week from October 27th to the 30th. This campaign is recognized as the largest drug prevention initiative in the nation.
- Students will participate in themed dress-up days throughout the week.
- Participants are encouraged to wear red to symbolize drug-free living.
- A drug-free pledge wall will be set up for students to share their commitment to staying drug-free.
- The school will host the Miles in Quarters campaign, where businesses can set out jars for donations.
The goal is to collect enough quarters to equate to a mile. This initiative helps foster community support for the school and its objectives.
For more information regarding these events, individuals can reach out to Nichole Hahn or Keely Bracelin at the Stanley County School District. Community participation is vital to make these events meaningful.
