Each October, Butte Central Grade School proudly joins schools across the country to celebrate Red Ribbon Week, an annual event promoting safe, healthy, and drug-free lifestyles among young students.


Throughout the week, the school was alive with color, conversation, and positive energy as students participate in themed dress-up days, creative classroom activities, and special guest presentations.


Themed Dress-Up Days

To keep the message engaging and fun, Butte Central hosted a different dress-up theme each day:

  • Monday – Say no to Drugs wear Red!

  • Tuesday – Be A Hero! Dress like a Super Hero​

  • Wednesday – “Team Up Against Drugs”: Everyone wore their favorite sports gear.

  • Thursday – "Too Cool and Bright" Wear Neon and Sunglasses​

  • Friday – "Scare Away Drug" Wear your Halloween Costume

These spirited days helped students express creativity while reinforcing daily conversations about making positive decisions.


Inspiring Speakers and Activities

Red Ribbon Week at Butte Central also featured motivational speakers from the local community, including representatives from Butte Cares, law enforcement officers, and health educators who shared practical advice on avoiding drugs and building self-confidence.​


Classrooms engaged in hands-on activities such as a door decorating contest, where each class created a visual display about living drug-free, and the “I Pledge to Be Drug-Free” wall, where every student signed their name as a commitment to a healthy lifestyle.​


A Community-Wide Effort

The success of Red Ribbon Week at Butte Central shows the power of community partnerships. By combining education, creativity, and fun, the school reminded everyone—students, teachers, and parents alike—that living drug-free is not only a personal choice but a way to strengthen the community.


With enthusiasm and inspiration filling every hallway, Butte Central Grade School once again demonstrated that the puzzle of a safe, successful future starts with healthy choices—one piece at a time.
