Red Ribbon Week 2023
Red Ribbon Week is October 23-31, 2023. Red Ribbon Week is the longest running drug prevention campaign in the United States. Each year, Alabaster City Schools participates in this campaign by educating students about the dangers of substance use in various ways including visuals in the halls, informative talks/videos, and students participating in virtual driving experiences with Arrive Alive just to name a few. The best way to combat substance use in children and teens is education. Educating students about the danger of substance use, and educating parents about warning signs of substance use. Click the links below to learn more about Red Ribbon Week and information about youth substance use.
