Red Ribbon Week concluded with a Ghost Out assembly 4th period for the high school and junior high students. Throughout the morning, the Grimm Reaper pulls students from class where they get their faces painted to represent the "death" of the student. After their faces are painted, students are not allowed to talk to classmates as they continue their schedule throughout the day. During the assembly, students read stories and poems explaining how these students died due to the influence of drugs and alcohol. The assembly is a very somber event and students show the utmost respect as they learn about the importance of abstaining from drugs and alcohol. The assembly and Red Ribbon Week is put on by BPA. These students did an excellent job. Other activities they led throughout the week include spirit days, prizes, and elementary lessons. The elementary students were able to experience what it felt like to exercise as a smoker by jogging in place for several seconds and then trying to breathe through a straw. The ease of high school students interacting with our elementary kids in a positive way is one out of many reasons to go to Cascade Public Schools.
