RED RIBBON WEEK
October 26th - October 30th
Red Ribbon Week began in 1985 in memory of DEA Special Agent Enrique โKikiโ 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! โค๏ธ
