Purple Out! The Longest Day. “the day with the most light is the day we choose to fight the darkness of Alzheimer’s.” In an effort to raise awareness for Alzheimer's and Dementia, Drummond students painted the town purple! Prizes were given out in a drawing for students who answered trivia questions and dressed in purple. Some students won t-shirts, pencils, pens, temporary tattoos, and licorice. The Senior class won the contest with the most participants wearing purple. Parker’s Cafe donated coupons for a scoop of huckleberry ice cream!
