Red Ribbon Week begins today!
What Is Red Ribbon Week?
It is the oldest and largest drug prevention awareness program in the nation, celebrated annually the week of October 23rd - October 31st.
How did Red Ribbon Week begin?
The Red Ribbon Campaign was started in 1985 after the death of DEA Special Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, who was brutally tortured and murdered by the drug traffickers he was investigating in Mexico City. As a tribute, the continuing tradition started of displaying Red Ribbons as a symbol of intolerance towards the use of drugs.
In 1988, the National Family Partnership coordinated the first Red Ribbon Week with President and Mrs. Reagan serving as honorary Chairpersons. Since then, NFP continues to coordinate the campaign for families, schools, and communities across the nation each year. Wearing red ribbons during the month of October continues to represent our pledge to live drug free lives and honors the sacrifice of all who have lost their lives in the fight against drugs.
October Years of Service Recognition: Thank you for your years of service, dedication, and commitment to our students, families, and community!
As temperatures are starting to change, please remember to send students dressed appropriately for the weather. Students will still go outside for recess and have emergency drills during the cold weather months.
