Pana Elementary School will be recognizing Red Ribbon Week with 5 days of slogans, messages, and activities that promote a healthy and drug-free lifestyle. The elementary schoolers, educators and Principal Adam Metger will be harping on the line "Life is a movie, film drug-free" to understand the meaning and importance of saying "no" to drugs and alcohol.

Principal Metzger thanks Pana Elementary School Nurse, Nicole Martell and Counselor, Emily Icenogle for their efforts in planning and executing the important week.

Red Ribbon Week has been recognized for many years at Pana Elementary and Principal Metzger says its important to begin this messaging in the early stages as persuasion to make poor decisions appears quickly for young people.
