Marmaton Valley High School KAY Club students promoted Red Ribbon Week the last week of October.
Each day began with the Morning of Champions where high school athletes and KAY Club members greeted elementary students as they arrived at school. The elementary students also completed coloring pages that were displayed around the school.
The high school and junior high students participated in a daily trivia question pertaining to drug and alcohol statistics. Many also pledged to stay drug-free.
On Friday, the students were encouraged to wear red in order to be entered into a drawing for gift certificates to various local businesses.
Winners were:
Elementary, Serenity Holeman
Junior high, Adisyn Pritchard
High school, Taylen Blevins
Faculty and staff, Gavin Cole.
“The KAY club members, KAY Club officers, and athletes had a fun time interacting with the younger students,” Kelci Botts, sponsor, said.
“This is a great opportunity for our older students to be reminded that they are an example for our younger youth. It is also fun for the younger students to get to interact with high school students.”
