Red Ribbon Week Committee

Red Ribbon Week is a national awareness campaign dedicated to Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug prevention awareness in our schools and communities.  In 1985, the "red ribbon" was adopted as a symbol to honor the life of Enrique "KiKi" Camarena.  He was a Drug Enforcement Agent who lost his life while working undercover to investigate a major drug cartel in Mexico.

This committee works with the school counselors to come up with the activities and theme for Red Ribbon Week. It is usually the last week of October and is a nationally celebrated event. 

We welcome any help for our Red Ribbon Week committee.  If you’d like to volunteer your time, donate items or just have questions regarding Red Ribbon Week, please contact the Red Ribbon Week chair, Sieglinde Gawrzyjal.
