Red Ribbon Week

Red Ribbon Week is October 23rd to October 31st. It is celebrated in over 120,000 schools across the country. Red Ribbon Week is the oldest and largest drug prevention program started in the 1980s.

You may commit to the pledge at http://redribbon.org/pledge/
Take the Red Ribbon Pledge:
****Do not need to be a parent but pledge to encourage youth to commit to staying drug-free****

  1. As parents, we will talk to our children about the dangers of drug abuse.
  2. We will set clear rules for our children about not using drugs.
  3. We will set a good example for our children by not using illegal drugs or medicine without a prescription.
  4. We will monitor our children's behavior and enforce appropriate consequences, so that our rules are respected.
  5. We will encourage family and friends to follow the same guidelines to keep children safe from substance abuse.

I pledge to set guidelines to help children grow up safe, healthy and drug-free.
