Red Ribbon Week is Almost Here!

Red Ribbon Week began in 1985 in honor of DEA Agent Enrique β€œKiki” Camarena, whose dedication to fighting drug trafficking inspired a nationwide movement. The red ribbon became a symbol of living drug-free and making safe, healthy choices.

We’re excited to celebrate with a dress-up week to show our commitmentβ€”check out the themes below! ❀️πŸ’ͺ
