Highland View ES-Red Ribbon Week
Red Ribbon Week
Highland View joined thousands of schools in the United States to celebrate Red Ribbon Week. The purpose of this week is to promote positive choices and a healthy, drug-free lifestyle. In keeping with her lessons on character traits, our guidance counselor, Ms. Williams explained to students, "The red ribbon is a reminder for you to use your moral courage to take care of yourself and say 'No' when you are asked to use drugs."
When you use your moral courage to say "No" to drugs, it's because you:
Respect yourself.
Make smart choices.
Want to look and feel your best.
Want to do well in school.
Want to be the Best you can be!
In recognition of this very important week, staff and students participated in several activities.

Students will do their best to keep their pledge.
