Red Ribbon Week at RPMS

As the culmination of Red Ribbon Week, seventh and eighth grade students participated in an engaging and meaningful assembly presented by the HUGS organization. Students explored the importance of building a strong personal "wall" of support to help protect themselves against the many challenges and pressures they may encounter as they grow. 

The presentation emphasized the value of students surrounding themselves with positive influences, trusted adults, supportive friends and family members who can help them navigate difficult or antagonizing situations. Students were reminded that having a strong support system, knowing when to ask for help and making healthy, responsible decisions are essential to protecting their well-being and making positive choices.

The message reinforced the central theme of Red Ribbon Week: Your future is worth protecting!
