Red Ribbon Week is here!! Red Ribbon Week is celebrated annually October 23-31st and is the nation's oldest and largest drug prevention awareness program. Red Ribbon Week began following the death of DEA Special Agent Enrique Camarena who was kidnapped, tortured and murdered in 1985 by drug traffickers. As a tribute to Camarena, his friends created "Camarena Clubs" and wore red ribbons to show their oppositions to drugs.
In recognition of Red Ribbon Week, the FCCLA group would love to have you participate in our dress up days.
