❤️ RED RIBBON WEEK IS NEXT WEEK! ❤️ October 26–30, Mexia Junior High will celebrate Red Ribbon Week! ❤️🐾 Red Ribbon Week is a national campaign dedicated to raising awareness about the dangers of drugs and encouraging students to make healthy, safe, and positive choices. It is also a time to remind our students that their futures are bright and the choices they make today help shape their tomorrow! At MJH, we want every Blackcat to know that being drug-free, making good decisions, and standing up for what is right are all part of the Blackcat Way! ❤️ Be Brave. Be Strong. Be Drug-Free! ❤️ 🐾 All Grit. All Grind. All Blackcat. #RedRibbonWeek #DrugFreeLooksLikeMe #MJHBlackcats #BlackcatWay

Dr. Sweeney, your MJH family is cheering you on and celebrating YOU! We are so lucky to have you as part of our Blackcat family! ❤️🖤 🎓 You earned those three little letters, and we are going to make sure EVERYONE knows it! 🎉 🐾 All Grit. All Grind.
