Red Ribbon Week-2014

“My Future is Bright, No Drugs or Bullies in Sight!”

October 27 through October 31, 2014

LCE

Red Ribbon Week is October 27th through October 31st. It is a national celebration of talking with students and teaching them to say NO to drugs, alcohol, negative peer pressure and bullying.

Red Ribbon Week was developed in 1988 after a community in Calexico, California wore red ribbons to honor the death of a drug enforcement agent who had been killed while attempting to keep illegal drugs out of our country. His name was Kiki Camerena.

The activities for the week are:
