Red Ribbon Week at MJHS

Last week was Red Ribbon Week at MJHS.  The students all anchored together to take a stand against drugs and bullying by wearing red wristbands throughout the week.  They also wore RED on Wednesday and finished the week with an assembly.  We had a visit and demonstration by the K-9 dog and officers. Thank you to the students and teachers for a great week in support of Red Ribbon Week!

Red Ribbon Week is when we take a stand against drugs and bullying. We, the students, are responsible to taking in effect the morally right thing to do for us, and this week helps us to think about it. It also reminds us about how we should be drug free and to no bully or be a bystander. Say “no” to anything bully related and talk to a trusted adult.

I would like to share a story that a lot of people may have heard. There was a kid that got bullied so bad that he took all of his stuff home because he was going take his life. But, on the bus ride home he got bumped and a complete stranger helped him pick up his belongings. Because of that one good deed that kid changed his mind. That one instance of kindness helped save that kid’s life. Long story short, respect others and treat them the way you want to be treated.

I had a friend that battled with drug abuse all through last year. He finally got back on his feet during the spring. He was doing really well but then he felt urged to do drugs again. He didn’t want to disappoint anyone and so he took his life. Please help each other and be educated about the situation.

The only thing you need to be is a friend.
