schools pledging to be drug-and-alcohol free during Red Ribbon Week, held

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.

how important it is to make good choices and stay
away from drugs and alcohol."
Red
