🎉 Congratulations to Jaden Busby! 🎉

Jaden is the lucky winner of yesterday’s Red Ribbon Week activity! Students searched the halls of Mena High School to find hidden red ribbons, and Jaden’s ribbon was the one drawn—earning him a brand-new pair of AirPods!

Yesterday’s theme was “Drugs Can’t Find Me,” reminding us all to stay strong and make positive choices!
