The Red Ribbon Week organizers at Lone Hill Middle School in San Dimas, California, strove to make an impact on the student body. Fifteen sets of speakers visited the campus to share their experiences. Students moved in groups from speaker to speaker. Police officers and fire fighters spoke, as did former drug and alcohol abusers. DEA officers arrived in a helicopter to talk about seizing drugs that were being brought into the United States. High school athletes gave suggestions on avoiding drugs and alcohol that can ruin college dreams. Students were able to have meaningful discussions with the speakers that day. “Believe, Achieve, Succeed Drug Free” items, such as Laminated Tags and Temporary Tattoos, would complement a day of powerful speakers.
Leaders unite with the common goal of raising a generation of drug-free children who make healthy choices. The good news is that, thanks to creative approaches to anti-drug education, Red Ribbon Week has captured the attention of millions of young people.
