- Red Ribbon Week -

Monday, the Red Ribbons went up at NOMS…..School signs were changed and Students received a RED Bracelets stating “Better Things To Do Than Drugs”

There was also a lesson on: The History of Red Ribbon Week

Red Ribbon Week began to commemorate the life and death of Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, an agent of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, who was murdered in the fight against drugs. In Agent Camarena's home town, Calexico, CA, public outpouring of support turned in to an organized community response in which citizens wore red ribbons. They became a voice for prevention in America. In 1988, Red Ribbon Week was recognized nationally with President Ronald and First Lady Nancy Reagan serving as the first Honorary Chairs. This year we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Red Ribbon Week.
