This week is Red Ribbon week, and it is annually celebrated in October and is the nation’s oldest and largest drug prevention awareness program.

         During your lunch period teachers are going around and handing out papers to sign stating that you will be drug-free, and in return for signing this you will get a red drug-free bracelet that says “ Yes We Can Say No To Drugs “.

          Even though signing this paper sounds silly, it in reality is helping your community and your future. Staying on the right path for success and not getting distracted by drugs can save you. Just remember that everyone has been where you are and turning to drugs is not the correct choice.
