October 23-26, 2007

Activities are planned to help students understand and celebrate a drug free healthy life.  Students will bring home a list of the themes and activities for each day of the week.

National Red Ribbon week serves as a tribute to Special Agent Camarena, who was kidnapped and brutally tortured and murdered by drug traffickers in Mexico. This tragic event produced an immediate outpouring of grief, but over time has generated a sense of hope across America. That hope is being kept alive through the hard work of thousands of Americans ---particularly our young people---who participate in Red Ribbon events during the last week in October. This tradition is stronger than ever today, as an increasing number of Americans are saying "yes" to a drug-free life.
