2016 Red Ribbon Week |
|
Red Ribbon Week will be celebrated during the week of October 24-28. Red Ribbon Week is celebrated to raise awareness of the dangers of substance abuse. It originated as a result of the efforts of "Kiki" Camarena. Camerena was a Mexican immigrant to California, a Marine veteran who became a special agent with the Drug Enforcement Agency to help stop the drug trade into the United States.
Levelland ISD Students and staff are encouraged to participate in any or all of the special events for the week.
