Alrighty so its Red Ribbon Week here at our school this week. Red Ribbon Week is a week devoted to a man named Kiki Camarena who was killed by drug traffickers. The purpose of the week is to get young people interested in bing drug free and learning the dangers of drugs.
The Red Ribbon Week kicked off last Thursday with an inspirational speaker, and MTV "Made" Coach" named Jeff Yaldin. Jeff has visited our school a couple times in the past and has always done a great job. He's funny and can relate to younger kids, the real purpose of Red Ribbon Week. Jeff's story wasn't all about being drug free, which was good because he was able to cover a broad range of subjects.
We are now beginning the actual Red Ribbon Week. I personally have no special plans concerning Red Ribbon Week beyond signing the banner promising to be drug free this week...lol that will be a stretch for me...(for all you who don't know me thats sarcasm).
Anyways Red Ribbon Week has a good message and its a fun week where we occasionally get out of school. Just thought I would let all you in cyberspace know what its about and ya know...spread the word.
