Last week SJHS celebrated Red Ribbon Week. Red Ribbon Week is a way to increase drug awareness and have fun at the same time. Each day of the week, students dressed up according to the theme of the day. For instance, Monday was Pajama Day, and everyone came to school in their pajamas. Thursday was Sports Day. The message of the day was “Stay Fit and Stay Free.”
On Thursday after school, the students played a competitive flag football game against the faculty. The faculty was, once again, undefeated, although one game ended in a tie. “My favorite moment was when Jethro Gillespie leaped up and over a student into the end zone for a touchdown,” Mrs. Kelli Manwaring, SJHS science teacher, said.
“Sports day is a day when we promote students to get ‘high’ off of sports rather than drugs,” Mrs. Kathryn Crandall, Service Learning teacher, expplained. So whether it’s kicking balls or kicking drugs, students at Springville Junior High vow to stay drug free.
