Red Ribbon Week highlights the importance of living a drug-free life. It presents an opportunity for parents, educators, and communities to reinforce the drug-free messages they share with their children throughout the year. During Red Ribbon Week, youth and adults around the nation pledge to increase their knowledge by learning more about the destructive effects of drug abuse, including prescription drug misuse, and renew their commitment to live a healthy, drug-free lifestyle.

N. Kugler in Mr. Kabay's fifth grade class won the Holiday Card Contest on our campus. Her design will go on to compete with other student designs in the West area. The winning card will be printed on the official HISD holiday card in December. We are so proud of our student artists. There were several amazing card designs! They will be on display in December in the front of the school.
