Brick Memorial High School Celebrates Red Ribbon Week with Creative School Display

Brick Memorial High School proudly joined schools across the nation in celebrating Red Ribbon Week, a national drug awareness and prevention initiative held annually during the final week of October. This year, the Mustangs marked the occasion in a way that perfectly blended creativity, community spirit, and a seasonal touch.

Led by Samantha West of the Guidance Department and Mrs. Judy Harzer’s art students, the front entrance of Brick Memorial was transformed into a vibrant and meaningful display that seamlessly combined Halloween fun with the important message of living drug-free. Powerful messages from students, student-made artwork, and festive Halloween decorations worked together to remind everyone who entered the building of the power of positive choices.

Principal Edward Sarluca expressed his pride in the effort, saying, “I’m incredibly proud of our students and staff for turning such an important message into something that welcomes every Mustang who walks through our doors. Their creativity and teamwork show what makes Brick Memorial special: spirit, pride, and purpose.”

The decorated entrance served not only as a celebration of the season but also as a bold statement of the Mustang community’s commitment to awareness and prevention.  It’s truly a great day to be a Mustang!
