To celebrate National Red Ribbon Week, students all wore red on Monday. Additional themed days include students wearing a sports team jersey to show they're "teaming up" against drugs.

"Here in Solon, students mark the week with different creative daily themes that reflect the overall message of staying drug free. The schools use this week as a springboard to focus on an-appropriate information about the dangers of drug and alcohol use as well as promoting leadership and kindness," the Solon Schools said.
