Blue Ribbon Tree for Kids
The Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH), along with various community organizations, are working together to build a “Blue Ribbon Tree” state. Blue ribbon trees will be blossoming throughout Oklahoma communities in April, which is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. The blue ribbon is the international sign for child abuse prevention and serves as a constant reminder that everyone has a responsibility in helping protect children. Communities are invited to participate by displaying blue ribbon trees during April. To have a tree showcased in the annual Blue Ribbon Tree Community Partnership video, trees must be completed and registered by April 8.
