Red Ribbon Celebration
The Red Badge of Courage

Red Ribbon in October illustrates a commitment to and support of the fight against illegal drug use.  Our school participates in this national campaign to honor the memory of Kiki Camarena, a DEA agent murdered by drug dealers, and our local law enforcement professionals killed on duty-related incidents.  We are committed to doing our part in teaching our students to refuse alcohol and other illegal substances. 

Let’s join together as prevention partners:
 Talk to your children this month about Red Ribbon.
 Re-emphasize your rules and expectations.
 Plan alcohol-free activities.
 Ask questions of your children and listen to what they say and what they don’t say.
 Wear a red ribbon during the last week of October.
