Colton Fitch and Emily Kushnir
October 28, 2024

In October, we celebrated NO DRUGS by dressing up for Red Ribbon Week, participating in a poster and door decoration contest.

  • Monday, Panthers dressed in Red.
  • Tuesday, Panthers were too bright for drugs, wearing neon.
  • Wednesday, Panthers scared off drugs by wearing their Halloween costumes.
  • Thursday, or Halloween, Panthers wore wacky tacky clothing.
  • Friday, Panthers showed off their Panther Pride by wearing their LCMS gear.
