You see a flash of red. The bright color causes you to take a second glance. Upon observing, you see that it is a red ribbon. This is a special kind of ribbon, advocating for drug free awareness. The bright color allows an attention drawing factor, and more awareness is thus spread. In a world where media has the biggest influence on today’s youth, it is vital to ensure that children know what is in their best interest-most effectively done by using simple measures. During the week of October 23 to the 31, these ribbons will be distributed in local schools in an attempt to promote being drug free. So, when you see these ribbons, remember the meaning behind it, and remind yourself to be an exemplary role model in demonstrating a drug free life style!

“Respect yourself. Respect your health. Be drug free!”
