The Red Ribbon campaign began when drug traffickers in Mexico City murdered Kiki Camarena, a DEA agent, in 1985. Today displaying Red Ribbons is a way for students to unite and take a visible stand against drugs. Mountain City Elementary students show their intolerance for drug use in a number of activities which are fun for the students including the following:

We celebrated Red Ribbon Week the week of October 24-28. The mission of the Red Ribbon Campaign is to present a unified and visible commitment toward the creation of a Drug-Free America. Activities are listed below.
