Happy Red Ribbon Week.

Every year our school celebrates Red Ribbon Week {as do most}.  Each class has to make a banner and it's always a challenge to come up with something good.  Last year we went for more of a "cute" route {& I still think it's adorable!}.  This year, my class decided to get very creative with their song titles.  I was laughing pretty hard as they were brainstorming their list.  I guess I have some T. Swift, LMFAO, and Carly Rae Jepsen fans.  Who knew?  

We had a nice little conversation about being drug free.  Some of my students asked me if I had ever done drugs.  In that moment, I had this sigh of relief come over me that I didn't have to either a. admit something embarrassing about my past or b. lie to my students.  I felt proud to tell them that I have been drug free for 24 years {a.k.a. my whole life}.  When I went to glue the word "drug" on the poster, some of them about wet their pants screaming, "AHHH!  Mrs. Raz!!  You broke your streak!  You're touching "drugs!"  Niiiiceee, guys.
