HHS Peer Helpers Reach Out to Elementary Schools During Red Ribbon Week
The week of October 27th-October 31st, the HHS Peer Helpers spoke to 4th and 5th graders at the Homewood elementary schools about living a drug, alcohol, and
tobacco-free life. After Introductions, the Peer Helpers described
their Homewood High School activities and why they pledge to live a drug,
alcohol, and tobacco free life. They performed a Frozen themed skit
that taught the kids in a fun way about the dangers of alcohol. The students and peer
helpers celebrated by dancing to the Ice Cream and Cake song-- that's how
they party! Elementary students then asked the peer helpers questions about high school
and were given a Red Ribbon Week tattoo to represent the good choices they can make
to live a healthy lifestyle. Each elementary school has celebrated Red Ribbon
Week with dress up days such as "Shade out drugs- wear sunglasses" or "Protect
your future- where something that represents what you want to be when you grow up." Another group of Peer Helpers traveled to the Middle School on Oct. 31st to teach
individual classes about making good choices and the consequences of drugs,
alcohol, and tobacco use.
