Students celebrate Red Ribbon Week by pledging to be drug-free

Photo of student signing a pledge banner.Maple Hill Elementary School was among thousands of schools pledging to be drug-and-alcohol free during Red Ribbon Week, held October 23-31.

This year, students at the school signed a pledge banner promising to live drug-and-alcohol-free lives, participated in a variety of dress-up days, and activities aimed at raising students’ awareness of the pitfalls of drug and alcohol use.

"This week was an opportunity to highlight the importance of staying drug-and-alcohol free," said teacher Dana Fontanez. "It made students more aware of how important it is to make good choices and stay away from drugs and alcohol."

Red Ribbon Week is the oldest and largest annual drug-prevention campaign in the country. It was started in 1988 to raise awareness of the dangers of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs, and encourage prevention and early intervention.
