So, this week is Red Ribbon Week. For those of you unaware of what that is, it the week we set aside in our schools to teach kids the dangers of drug abuse and how to say no when offered any. Today was pledge day at Morningside. And since there were no volunteers to head up this thing, the PTA "Presidency" got to do it. Looking through the catalog of ideas for themes we could use this year I came across tons of items that had camoflauge on them. It immediately caught my attention because of Landon's obsessiveness with army stuff right now. The phrase they were using for this army theme was "Join in the FIGHT Against Drugs". I approached the others with the idea and they took it from there. 
We were able to get a couple of soldiers from the reserves to come to the school with their HumVee and my brother in law loaned us his H2 as well. So, we were stacked with fun stuff.
We told the kids to wear Camoflauge and they signed their names pledging to be drug free on a big poster we are going to hang in the school. Each got a sticker to wear as well. 
We made a big sign on the fence back by the playground with styrofoam cups that said "Drug Free!!!!!" The best part though, was that the soldiers let the kids actually climb inside of the HumVee and check it out. The kids had so much fun!
