Levittown Schools Promote Positive Choices For Red Ribbon Week

October 28, 2024

Classrooms throughout the Levittown School District were filled with superheroes and princesses as students and staff marked Red Ribbon Week from Oct. 21-25, an annual initiative to promote drug-free lifestyles.

Daily themes in each building had students come to school dressed in costumes and outfits that matched a range of positive themes, such as signaling students' bright futures with neon colors. The week also included visits from guest speakers, including former professional wrestler Marc Mero, who discussed how positive choices can make a difference in the lives of Wisdom Lane Middle School students. Red Ribbon Week lessons and activities throughout the week were sponsored by the Levittown Community Action Coalition with the goal of empowering children to resist peer pressure and embrace a healthy lifestyle.
