Red Ribbon Week

Last week, Michelle's school celebrated Red Ribbon Week. Each day, in addition to talking about staying drug/alcohol free, they got to dress up in silly ways. This is fun at any school, but especially fun at a school with uniforms. Michelle was thrilled.

On Monday, it was pajama day. Michelle mostly wears little night shirts and it's too cold to wear those to school, so she got cute new pink pajamas for the ocassion (and really she was due for some new pajamas...all of hers were bought last year at Christmas or even before then and she has outgrown them all... Pajamas are just not a shopping priority for me.) Sorry, no picture of this.

Tuesday was crazy hair day. One of her friends, Riley, had his hair in little ponytails that looked like a mohawk. Michelle had her hair in different styles... a couple of braids, a couple pony tails, a twist, and lots of mismatched hiar ribbons. (sorry about her facial expressions... she was tired and she always tries to make goofy faces when I take her picture.)


Wednesday was multicultural day. That was fun to see for the kids that had cool outfits. We didn't have anything so we just pinned a picture of flags of the world shaped like the Earth onto her uniform.

Thursday was mismatch day:









Friday was crazy sock and slippers day. Michelle wore witch socks (with little witch faces that are 3 D on the back and pink slippers. They didn't dress up for Halloween at school, but her after school program had a party and she got to dress up then. They played games, had lots of treats and it was a lot of fun. (Sorry no pics of this either!)

Michelle thoroughly enjoyed Red Ribbon Week (and learned about the importance of not using drugs and alcohol as well).
