Red Ribbon Week is celebrated annually at the end of October and is the nation’s oldest and largest drug prevention awareness program. The 2024 theme is “Life is a Movie, Film Drug Free”.
The origin of the Red Ribbon Campaign traces back to 1985, following the tragic murder of Drug Enforcement Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena. This initiative, initiated by NFP, symbolizes a commitment to raising awareness about the devastating impact of drugs in America.
Red Ribbon Week kicks off on Monday, October 28 through the 31st! The MPCSD is urging students to wear red on Monday!
