CV Celebrates Red Ribbon Week
What is Red Ribbon Week?
RED RIBBON WEEK is Celebrated Annually October 23-31. 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.
What is the story behind the red ribbon?
The Red Ribbon was used as an awareness symbol made by after DEA Agent Enrique Camarena was killed while working undercover in Guadalajara, Mexico. Citizens in his home town of Calexico, California donned the ribbons to emphasize the need for increased prevention efforts
