New Hope-Solebury High School celebrated Red Ribbon Week with a creative display inspired by the national theme “Life Is a Puzzle, Solve It Drug Free.” Throughout the week, students signed large puzzle-piece cutouts, each representing a personal pledge to make positive choices and live drug-free.
When assembled, the pieces formed a colorful mural in the main hallway, symbolizing how each student’s decision is a vital part of the larger picture—a community working together toward health and safety. Students wrote messages like “Because my future matters” and “I choose hope,” turning the project into both a visual statement and a shared conversation about responsibility and wellness.
The activity connected to classroom lessons on decision-making, peer influence, and personal growth. Teachers and counselors emphasized that, like a puzzle, life’s challenges can be solved piece by piece with the right support and choices.
Red Ribbon Week, observed nationally from October 23–31, honors the legacy of DEA agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena and promotes substance-free living among youth. At New Hope-Solebury, the puzzle project served as a reminder that every student’s choice matters—and together, they can “solve life drug-free.”
