The students at Ames celebrated Red Ribbon Week during October 21st-October 25th. Red Ribbon Week is a national campaign to help students learn about the dangers of using drugs, alcohol and tobacco.
Students in grades two through five had classroom guidance lessons, completed activities, signed a banner pledging to be healthy and planted red tulip bulbs in the garden out front. These tulips will blossom in the spring and help to remind the students about staying alcohol, drug and tobacco free.
We would like to thank Jake Gurney, our transportation director, for coming out to Ames on Monday night and rototilling our garden so that the ground was ready for planting. We would also like to thank Aubuchon Hardware for donating some of our tulip bulbs. And we want to recognize fifth grader, Zoey Fitts, for taking our beautiful pictures.
