BACKGROUND:     The Red Ribbon Campaign was designed to allow students to demonstrate their commitment to a healthy, drug-free lifestyle by creating a poster.  This year’s theme - "Follow Your Dreams-Don't Do Drugs" – ran during the Red Ribbon week of October 23-31.  Red ribbons are worn during the week each year to remind us of the importance of a drug-free life-style and to show those needing support we are there for them.
