New Use For Duct Tape

Northside Elementary School students were reworded for positive behavior by being allowed to duct taping physical education teacher Tom Olson to the gym wall as part of Red Ribbon Week Thursday, Oct. 31. Students received tickets from teachers and other staff for positive behavior. Each ticket was worth about three feet of duct tape. Fifth-grader Angeleena “Angel” Bellymule appears to be enjoying herself as she tapes Olson to the wall. Red Ribbon Week is an annual nation-wide drug, alcohol, tobacco and bullying prevention campaign that includes events throughout the week.
