Red Ribbon Week observed
SGA members Shareka Dickinson, Jasmine Williams, Jake Paul and Brittany Lowery released red balloons in front of Clarke County High School celebrating National Red Ribbon Week, Oct. 23-31. The National Family Partnership (NFP) began Red Ribbon Week in 1988 to commemorate the life and death of Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, an agent of the U.S. Drug Enforcment Administration, who died in the fight against drugs. NFP, an organization devoted to helping families and communities live healthy, drug-free lives, asked youth and adults to wear and display red ribbons during the last week of October to demonstrate their commitment to a drug free lifestyle and to remember agent Camarena. Today, schools nationwide continue to spread awareness about drug and alcohol abuse.
