Elementary School students had an opportunity recently to learn more
about being drug-free while having some fun. They participated in
Red Ribbon Week from October 20-24 along with students throughout
the country. Red Ribbon Week has been celebrated since 1986 when drug
enforcement agent Enrique Camarena was kidnapped and killed for coming
close to breaking up a drug cartel in Mexico. To honor this agent,
and to demonstrate their commitment to drug and alcohol prevention,
his family members and friends began wearing red ribbons, since that
time, the National Family Partnership has adopted this week to raise
awareness about keeping children drug-free. Pictured above are Kyle
Keller (left) and Josh Donnell participating in activities at CES.
For more information about how the week was observed at Coarsegold
Elementary School, see page 4.
