Hey Royals! Last week was Red Ribbon Week, a campaign where schools around the U.S. spread awareness to their students about the dangers of substance abuse through school spirit. This year, our director of activities Ms. LaBonte ‘09 arranged 5 perfect themes for each day of the school week. Some Royals took their participation to the next level and really stood out. Here are some of my favorite looks from this Red Ribbon Week:

Shine out against drugs– On Monday, Rosary students arrived in neon t-shirts, and, although everyone really shone out against drugs, one Royal stood out the most with her outfit. Senior Katriel Cenabre was radiating in her neon-green outfit— right down to her hairclips!

Drugs can’t find me– Tuesday, it seemed many Royals were missing, but really everyone was just dressed in camouflage, blending into our campus’s lovely landscape. Brianna Guzman ‘23 was in head-to-toe in camo.

Friends don’t let friends do drugs– On Wednesday, big sister/ little sister duos and best friends twinned to celebrate midway into Red Ribbon Week. Of course, one of the most iconic twinning moments of the day were these two “Servite students,” my little sister Savina Padilla ‘25 and me.

Crazy about being drug free- Everyone brought their crazy game on with their socks on Thursday, but the wigs around campus really took the cake. Seniors Layla Langrell and Victoria Bush showed up in glamorous toupees, looking like celebrities with bold hairstylists.

Black out drugs– My little sister’s and my outfit from Wednesday were a sneak peek into Friday’s theme, where almost every student dressed in Servite gear or all-black. Friday was also the big rivalry football game between Servite and Mater Dei, and everyone took this day as an opportunity to show their support for the Friars.

Red Ribbon Week was amazing thanks to the participation of Rosary’s students, and I’m sure everyone had fun while advocating for substance abuse awareness.
