Red Ribbon Week Kicks Off Today

Every year for one week cities throughout the country unite with the color red. Known as "Red Ribbon Week," this week is the largest drug prevention campaign in the country.

Red Ribbon Week is recognized in memory of Special Agent Camarenam who lost his life during an incident related to his role in the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

By wearing a red ribbon during this week in Oct., participants show their willingness to stand up against drugs. Schools throughout Dublin plan to do just that.

Schools in the Pleasanton Unified School District will be participating in Red Ribbon week. Activities will include assemblies, creating art, wearing red and making pledges to say no to drugs.
