Red Ribbon Week: October 27-31

Red Ribbon Week is scheduled for October 27-31 at Castleberry High School. Red Ribbon Week is a nation-wide drug prevention campaign and serves as a vehicle for communities, schools and individuals to take a stand for the hopes and dreams of our children/students through a commitment to drug prevention and education. In addition, Red Ribbon Week gives students at CHS an opportunity to make a personal commitment to live drug free lives.
Red Ribbon Week commemorates the sacrifice made by DEA Special Agent Enrique Camarena, who died in Mexico while fighting the battle against drugs to keep our country and children safe. In honor of Camarena's memory, friends and neighbors began to wear red badges of satin. For more about the story behind the symbol and Enrique Camarena, please access the link below.
