Red Ribbon Week is October 25-29.

We celebrate National Red Ribbon Week in honor of Enrique Camarena, a fallen DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) Agent, who risked his own life in the battle against illegal drugs. The Red Ribbon is a symbol used to help us remember to make healthy choices for our bodies and to "say NO to drugs!" We will be celebrating Red Ribbon Week during the week of October 25th-29th with the national slogan Drug Free Looks Like Me.
