Red Ribbon Week
Here at West Minico Middle School we participate in Red Ribbon week to teach students not to do drugs. Drugs are a one time thing… yeah right. Drugs take away your personality, they take away your ability to think and take care of yourself properly, and they take away the rights you have allowing you to be your own person. The facts are…drugs are bad for your family, your health, and your sanity. Drugs make you hallucinate, make you give yourself to total strangers for another joint or line, and make loose your handle on life. Imagine you are a senior in college, you have the world at your finger tips, you’re an honor student and you’re only a few months away from graduating with honors and multiple degrees, until you meet a group of ‘friends’ who ask you if you want to do drugs and you say yes. Then, all of your goals are gone, all your hard work goes to waste, and you loose everything.
