Red Ribbon Week
Red Ribbon Week was designed to create an awareness concerning the problems related to the use of tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs. Red Ribbon week started in 1985 as a means of honoring DEA agent Enriquie Camarena, who lost his life in the line of duty. Today, Red Ribbon Week is a time for school and communities across the nation to come together in the fight against drugs. At Vista we will be doing activities that focus on the many aspects of Health and Safety. We would like to have parents from each class bring in red items (about 25) one day during the week to remind their class of the importance of staying healthy and safe through a drug free life. The red items can be anything from apples to pencils. Examples: Red licorice, erasers, apple slices, fruit roll ups, pencils, ribbons, fruit snacks, popsicles, red juice boxes…
