October 26th - October 30th

Red Ribbon Week began in 1985 in memory of DEA Special Agent Enrique โ€œKikiโ€ Camarena, who lost his life while fighting against drugs. His story inspired communities across the country to come together and make a commitment to live drug-free.


Today, Red Ribbon Week is celebrated in schools across the nation to promote healthy choices, positive decisions, and a drug-free future. Join us for fun themed dress-up days as we show that making healthy choices matters! โค๏ธ
