There will also be the following dress up days next week:
Monday – Hang tough, don’t puff – wear your favorite animal print
Tuesday – Drugs ARE NOT magical, but Disney is – wear something Disney
Wednesday – Saying no to drugs in no sweat – wear your favorite sweats
Thursday – Drugs aren’t groovy – wear your favorite tie dye/hippie attire
