Educating the Parents During Red Ribbon Week

Educating parents on drug and alcohol abuse is just as important as educating the youth. A Red Ribbon Week assembly provides the perfect platform to achieve both goals.  It is well documented that youths whose parents are strongly against drugs and alcohol are much less likely to start experimenting with illicit substances.

When planning a Red Ribbon Week assembly program, create activities that the students and parents can do together.  Arranging a pledge day is the perfect activity for students, parents and teachers to work together in promoting a drug free community as well as educating each other and the people around them.  Send everyone out in teams to walk around the neighborhood, going into businesses, homes and other schools. Hand out red ribbons and pamphlets as well  and get as many people as possible to sign a pledge against drug and alcohol abuse.

Red Ribbon Week Time to Celebrate Freedom

So many times when we celebrate Red Ribbon Week we only think about not taking drugs. Students get tired of the no, don’t do that message. They want to hear something else. Well, if you think about it this should be a week to celebrate freedom. If we don’t take drugs then we have a lot of freedoms that we can cherish.

Some of those freedoms that we should be talking to them about is the freedom from being tied to a very dangerous habit. Not taking drugs helps us enjoy the freedom from dying from an overdose. Another freedom we have is the freedom from having the urge

Highlighting the Psychological effects of Alcohol Consumption during Red Ribbon Week

Using a Red Ribbon Week assembly to discuss the consumption of alcohol and the effects that alcohol has on the state of mind of teenagers, will go a long way in reducing the demand for alcohol and drugs in schools.

Youths that consume alcohol from a young age start experiencing psychological differences in their attitude, perspective and performance.  Countless surveys have been conducted over the years and one thing they have in common is that a psychological change happens in youths that drink alcohol.  The most prevalent change is that the youth starts losing interest in hobbies, school work, friends and activities that they previously enjoyed immensely.  Some parents often attribute this to teenage rebellion, only to discover later on that their child had started a trip down the road to substance abuse. Red Ribbon Week assembly programs create the perfect opportunity for teachers and schools to educate their students and parents to look out for the psychological effects of alcohol consumption.
