AAA CLUB MEETING: The AAA Club will meet TODAY, Tuesday, November 18th in room 1408 during lunch. Hopefully we'll have an update on our t-shirts that we want to order! (Radford)
RED RIBBON WEEK: Red Ribbon Week is the nation’s oldest and largest drug prevention program in the nation reaching millions of Americans. By wearing red ribbons and participating in community anti-drug events, young people pledge to live a drug-free life and pay tribute to DEA Special Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena.
Special Agent Camarena was an 11-year veteran of the DEA assigned to the Guadalajara, Mexico, office where he was on the trial of the country’s biggest marijuana and cocaine traffickers. In 1985, he was extremely close to unlocking a multi-billion dollar drug pipeline.
On February 7, 1985, he was kidnapped, brutally tortured and murdered by Mexican drug traffickers. His tragic deal opened the eyes of many Americans to the dangers of drugs and the international scope of the drug trade. (Flower and Thompson).
RED RIBBON WEEK POSTER CONTEST: Create a poster for Red Ribbon Week and you could win a prize. The theme of your poster should be: “Be Smart! Don’t Use Drugs!” Posters can address ANY form of substance abuse – tobacco, snuff, marijuana, and alcohol are just a few. Judging will be on Friday, November 21st and prizes will be awarded to the top team in each participating classroom!!! (Flower and Thompson)
