Also NJHS students will take pledges from students to be drug free by having them sign their name on a red strip of paper during lunch hours. The paper strips will be put together to make a paper chain showing our schools commitment to being drug free. NJHS students would like to display the chain in the hallway around the school. Pledging to be drug free will also allow you to enter to be a contestant in the relay races that will be played during lunch hours on Wednesday.

More pledges will be taken during lunches for our drug free commitment chain.

Thursday
“Put A Cap On Drugs” day. Everyone will be invited to wear their favorite hat to show their commitment to being drug free.
Friday
Red Out - Red Ribbon week will conclude with students wearing red a as a call to action. It will symbolize the urgency and necessity for making a real change and spreading awareness of the impact of drugs in our society.
And…the students would like to dare Mr. Hurley to be filmed for the BBB doing something silly such as singing a karaoke song, doing a just dance routine, or getting a make up make over. The video would be shown on the BBB if we can get everyone in the school to wear something red on Friday.
We have students already assigned to working on getting pledges Monday and Tuesday during lunches.
Also, students will run the relay races on Wednesday during lunch hours.
Students are aware of some things they could do with their social media accounts to show their commitment to being drug free and set an example for their friends in the community.
