Red Ribbon Week

Red Ribbon Week

Red Ribbon Week is the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the country.  

Red Ribbon Week serves as a vehicle for communities and individuals to take a stand for the hopes and dreams of our children through a commitment to drug prevention and education and a personal commitment to live drug free lives with the ultimate goal being the creation of drug free America.

And, perhaps more importantly, Red Ribbon Week commemorates the ultimate sacrifice made by DEA Special Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, who died at the hands of drug traffickers in Mexico while fighting the battle against illegal drugs to keep our country and children safe.

Cougar Academy offers a variety of activities in support of the message of Red Ribbon Week including; Spirit Week activities, guest presenters, poster contest and other school wide events.
