🎗️ Good morning, and Happy Red Ribbon Week! Remember this year’s theme is “Life is a puzzle, solve it drug free,”. Just like every puzzle piece is unique, so are you! Staying drug-free means protecting your health and embracing what makes you special. You don’t need drugs to fit in–the best puzzles are made when all the pieces are unique yet work together. Celebrate your uniqueness today and another positive piece to your life’s big picture.
