In celebration of Red Ribbon Week, students at Meadowbrook Elementary School gathered for a Unity Walk around school grounds to reinforce the importance of a healthy and drug-free lifestyle. Accompanied by their teachers and staff, the students wore neon- colored attire to symbolize their bright drug-free futures and chanted, “Stop. Look. We’re the Brook, and we say no to drugs” as they followed in a long line around the school grounds.
For the past week, students have attended a myriad of assemblies that emphasized a healthy lifestyle and supported the message of Red Ribbon Week. Students in each class also had the opportunity to sign a pledge for a drug-free life. After the walk, the students and faculty gathered in front of the school for a message from Assistant Principal Gail Gallucci and social worker and Unity Walk organizer Margherita Diglio. “We all want a bright future and need to make healthy choices for ourselves,” Ms. Gallucci told the students.
