It's never too early to talk to your kids about drugs. Red Ribbon week is a great time to do that. Sit with your child/children and discuss the student's pledge and parent's pledge and make a commitment to be drug free. Email pictures or videos of your family taking the pledge, create a drug free picture or slogan and display it in your picture/video. Pictures or videos can be emailed to verna.broussard@vpsb.net

We will monitor our children's behavior and enforce appropriate consequences, so that our rules are respected.
We will encourage family and friends to follow the same guidelines to keep children safe from drug abuse.
