Traditionally the last week of October schools across the nation celebrate Red Ribbon Week. Red Ribbon week is dedicated to a Federal Drug Enforcement Agent, Enrique Camarena, who was killed by drug traffickers in Mexico in 1985. In response to his death, angered parents across the country began wearing red ribbons to symbolize their commitment toward the creation of a drug free America.
To help our youth in Winside, Mrs. Volwiler's high school YLC students came up with slogans to help them reinforce their commitment to stay drug free. On Monday these students visited each class handing out red ribbons for the boys and girls to wear throughout the week. Each day a special dress-up day and slogan was introduced.
