Community Connection Spotlight:
Red Ribbon Week
It's Red Ribbon Week, and this year's national theme is Drug Free Looks Like Me!

This week, the Community Connection team is busy teaching children and youth how they can endorse this message every day by choosing not to use alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. By week’s end, Rainbow Days' Red Ribbon Week 2021 will culminate with over 6,500 students and educators receiving red ribbons and bracelets during an abundance of activities, including campus decorations, presentations, activity sheets and drug-free pledge campaigns for 21 local schools where Drug Free Looks Like Us!

To bring Red Ribbon Week home, click the buttons below to access fun activities tailored by age group to help your own kids learn and understand the importance of making healthy choices now to build their own drug-free futures. Special thanks to our very own Carolyn Payne for creating these resources!
Family Connection Spotlight:
WOGA Mentored Event
This month, Rainbow Days' Family Connection team partnered with the World Olympic Gymnastics Academy (WOGA) Parents Club in Plano to host 62 children living in local motels and shelters for a day of fun, adventure and gymnastics! Each child in attendance had the opportunity to learn and work one-on-one with a WOGA team member, face their fears and experience what it's like to train as a gymnast.

At WOGA, the children loved having the freedom to learn new things in a positive, safe environment while making unforgettable memories and discovering the excitement and thrill of gymnastics. Amidst the challenges and adversities these children are facing in their lives, this mentored event was especially beneficial as it provided the physical space for the kids to decompress and spend an afternoon away from the motels or shelters where they live.
