At NC, the Teen Action Council celebrated living drug-free with dress-up-themed days of the week for Red Ribbon Week. The inspiration for the themed days rooted in attempting to involve students and spread awareness of the risks of drug consumption and addiction. Students throughout the week supported the cause by dressing up for each day's theme: Monday as pajama day, Tuesday future career day, Wednesday blackout day, Thursday senior citizen day and jersey day to close the week on Friday.
