Red Ribbon Week
This week is Red Ribbon Week at CMS! In support of Red Ribbon Week, students signed a “Drug-Free Way to Be” banner and watched skits put on by the peer leaders. I asked you guys to submit your writing pieces to me about your drug free lifestyle. I selected a few of those works and they are posted below! Thanks to everyone who submitted their work. I am so proud of all of you and your anti-drug campaign.
Today, all students were asked to wear red to show their support for a drug free lifestyle. I took a picture of each class sporting their red outfits and they are posted below. I hope all of you have a great weekend. Oh and ROLL TIDE!
Drug-Free Writing Pieces:
Drug Free By: Mia Matt, 5th period
I am drug free, it’s the way to be. It gave me a chill to realize that drugs can kill.
You should be too. Drugs will hurt you!
Drugs make you become someone else, anyone but yourself.
Drugs can do many things, but most of all they hurt your brain.
They make you dizzy and drowsy, but also make you feel lousy.
There are many reasons this is the way to be, and they are why I am drug free!

Drug Free is the Way to Be By: Carter Williams, 4th period
Drug free is the way to be because alot of people that are on drugs couldn’t even write this paragraph I am about to write. If you do drugs it will affect your school work, alot of your friends won’t like you anymore, you might get cancer, and you will be very confused if you take drugs. Smoking can ruin your face. Our school watched a video yesterday and it showed a picture of a man who didn’t have a chin. The bottom part of his mouth was in the middle part of his chin. So that’s why you shouldn’t do drugs. DRUG FREE IS THE WAY TO BE!
Drug Free is the Way to Be! By:Lindsay Hagler, 3rd period
I love being drug free because when you are on drugs you do lots of bad things. For example, drug addicts sometimes drive while they are on drugs and they get in wrecks most of the time. Sometimes drug addicts try to stop but to them it is so hard to quit drugs. When people do drugs and they want to get a job they have to take a drug test. I want to have a good life when I grow up and I want to go to Auburn University and become a vet. If I was tempted to do drugs I would not fulfill my dream. That is why drug free is the way to be!

Here is my advice to you: DON’T DO DRUGS!!! Drugs can seriously mess up your life and your life will never be the same. Drugs can create social problems for people, and you can become addicted. You start to spend too much money. Drugs can make you do bad things just to get them like stealing. Drugs can also cause physical problems. Alcohol kills brain cells. Cigarettes and tobacco products can give you lung or mouth cancer. Drugs are especially bad for kids who are still growing and less immune to them like adults. Please just say NO to drugs.
Thanks to all my classes for your participation. See you all on Monday.
