Red Ribbon Week

                     By:Nyla B & Maddy S.

        Red Ribbon week is about being drug free and we have events at school like wear red, wear your favorite sports jersey, wear your school T-shirt, my favorite-pj day, and last but not least: wacky clothes day; and most of the time these things are a blast.  But, that’s not all what Red Ribbon Week is about.  Now, I’m going to let my friend take over and talk more about Red Ribbon Week.

Ok, I know Red Ribbon Week sounds so fun, but it wasn’t always this fun. In response of the murder of DEA agent Enrique Camarena, angered parents and youth in          communities across the country began wearing red ribbons as a symbol of commitment to raising awareness of the killing and destruction caused by drugs in America. Now, back to Maddy .

Some of you might be asking what the red ribbon stands for?  Well, the red ribbon is a symbol that stands for drunk driving prevention,drug prevention, and blood disorders. To add on, the Red Ribbon Foundation and Mothers Against Drunk Driving, AKA (MADD), are examples of organizations that utilize the red ribbon symbol.

        Well that’s the end of it. We hope you enjoyed it .
