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:

• “Sock it to Drugs Day”

• “Put a Cap on Drugs Day”

• “Turn Your Back on Drugs Day”

• “Band against drugs Day”

• “Wear Red Day”

Read about the activities at Mountain City Elementary for Red Ribbon Week.

Below you will find photos from “Put a Cap on Drugs Day."
