According to the Drug Enforcement Administration, Red Ribbon Week highlights the importance of living drug-free. It gives parents, educators, and communities an opportunity to reinforce the drug-free messages they share with their children throughout the year.
During Red Ribbon Week, youth and adults around the nation pledge to increase their knowledge by learning more about the destructive effects of drug abuse, including prescription drug misuse, and renew their commitment to live a healthy, drug-free lifestyle.
The WCHS YES Youth Council kicked off the week with their annual elementary school tour, sharing the drug-free message through Red Ribbon Week skits. The week-long spirit days are also a fun way to share the drug-free message. Check out some of the pictures from this week!
