Students participated in Red Ribbon Week filled with fun activities and crazy dress up days. The goal for Red Ribbon Week is to educate students on how to take preventative measures when it comes to drugs, alcohol, tobacco and internet safety. The campaign is designed to support the decision to live a drug-free lifestyle. Parents are encouraged to continue talking to their children about living a safe, healthy and drug-free life.

Moroni Elementary
Students attended an assembly to learn about agriculture and the farming of turkeys, and special guest was present for the kids: A turkey.
Moroni PTA President Carlee Christensen’s family was gifted a pardoned turkey from the governor and have since raised a couple of birds that are said to be so tame they were able to bring one to the school for kids to learn about and even pet.
A pardoned turkey ceremony dates back to the 1940s with U.S. presidents sparing a bird presented to them annually. Kids got up close and personal, a fun way to celebrate the local agriculture industry.
