Amityville

Students at Park Avenue Memorial Elementary School in Amityville recently celebrated Red Ribbon Week. 

From Oct. 25-31, students learned about the dangers of using drugs, smoking cigarettes, vaping, peer pressure, and drinking alcohol. Teachers highlighted the importance of making positive choices, including a healthy diet, getting good sleep, exercise, and treating each other with kindness and respect. Students participated in weeklong “spirit” festivities such as pajama day, wear bright colors, and jersey day. 

In Ms. Susan Zaratin’s art class, students created posters depicting this year’s Red Ribbon Week theme: “Life Is a Puzzle, Solve It Drug Free.”
