Schools Teach Drug Awareness During “Red Ribbon Week”

Red Ribbon Week, which was the week of October 28, is the largest and longest-running annual campaign dedicated to drug prevention.  Beyond spreading awareness of the dangers of drug and alcohol use, Red Ribbon Week also presents an excellent opportunity to teach students about the benefits of building lifelong healthy habits physically, mentally, and emotionally.

 

Penn-Trafford School District took part in the event, with each school adopting themes for each day to reinforce the dangers of drugs and alcohol.
