October 27–30, 2024
Hershey Public Schools will celebrate Red Ribbon Week, a national campaign promoting healthy, drug-free lifestyles and positive choices. This year’s theme, “Life is a Puzzle. Solve It Drug Free!”, reminds us that every piece of our life connects to the decisions we make each day.
Due to no school on Friday, October 31 (State Football Playoffs), our celebration days will be combined throughout the week. Students will have the choice to pick which theme they’d like to wear each day. We wanted to keep all themes available so that no one misses out—especially if they’ve already planned something special!
