Remind Children to Remain Drug Free during Red Ribbon Week
Red Ribbon week is a week where teachers, parents and other role models teach children about the dangers of alcohol, drugs, bullying and more. Each year, the week of October 23rd through the 31st is used to enlighten and motivate children to treat themselves and one another with respect.
Red Ribbon week spotlights the healthy habit of choosing to live above the negative influence. Positive Promotions offers a variety of items children can take home as a constant reminder to stay drug free. During the last week of October, we bring awareness to the effects of drug and tobacco use, and how children should act when encountering bullying in their schools or on the Internet.
Children learn to incorporate skills through fun games, educational materials and encouragement from others. This one-week celebration focuses on teaching children how to stand up when they see others being bullied, and demonstrates how they should react when they are offered drugs and cigarettes. Our products with “Drug Free” messages also pronounce, through a variety of materials, how children should act in a hazardous situation. Also, children are empowered to make a promise to stay away and stand against challenging circumstances.
You can make Red Ribbon week a memorable week through the use of messages stamped on wristbands, ribbons, and colorful “paw” dog tags. Our educational kits are perfect to spread the positive message in a classroom setting. In addition, we carry different style bookmarks, bags and wallets from which to choose. These souvenirs extend this week as a daily token of the pledge to stand up against drugs and stop those who bully others.
When children hold and wear these symbols of commitment, they will also encourage other children to take a stand and follow the right path toward a successful future. Our drug-free activity books and candy, respect t-shirts, and awards can be used as prizes for children and adults who win games at your event.
You will be able to promote this special week through colorful attention-getting banners, balloons and posters screaming out drug-free and anti-bully dialogue to spruce up any Red Ribbon event.

Safe & Bully-Free Schools
Bullying at school not only affects the victims, it affects all students and creates an uncomfortable learning environment. Schools must establish a strategy that protects the safety of all students and sends a clear message that bullying will not be tolerated. We would like to share some practical ideas for promoting awareness from various schools across the country. Using a unique collection of quality Safe and Bully-Free School incentives and educational materials, it will help set the tone of respect, tolerance, and positive behavior throughout your school.
- Take A Stand – Hold a “Walk Away From Bullies” group walk around the school grounds. Before the walk, have students sign the “Take A Stand, Lend A Hand” pledge banner.
- Anti-Bullying Cheers – Why not kick off your Bullying prevention campaign with a pep rally. Ask your cheerleading squad to create anti-bullying cheers that they can perform at the event. Have football players speak out about the golden rule. Supply these athletes with “Winners Don’t Bully” Mini Footballs to throw out at the audience.
- Schedule a Dress-Up Day – Schedule a dress-up day in which students, teachers and staff are invited to wear camouflage “Be A Hero” T-shirt. Explain the camouflage is to unite the school together and remind everyone to be a Hero in the efforts to prevent bullying and create a respectful school.
- “Mean Girls” Workshop – Hold a “Mean Girls” workshop one night after school. Prior to the workshop, hand out “Be Friendship Focused” Pink Women’s Cut T-shirts and have all the girls wear them. Invite a guest speaker to talk about how to deal with gossip, bullying and other drama in a girl’s world.
- Caught Being Good – Recruit businesses near your school to help reward students for displaying good conduct. See if they will give special offers, such as a percentage off or a buy-one-get-one-free-deal, to students who come in wearing “Caught Being Good” Rainbow Silicone Bracelets that they have earned through good behavior.
