KICKOFF RED RIBBON WEEK
Red Ribbon Week is being celebrated October 23-31. As a kickoff to Red Ribbon Week we would like all students, teachers, and community members to WEAR RED on Friday, October 23rd. The Carlisle High School JEL/SADD group will be kicking off this year's theme "Our goal is to be alcohol, drug, and tobacco free" at the home football game Friday, October 23rd. The group will be conducting activities throughout the week to spread awareness about the harmful effects of substance use to students in the district.
Red Ribbon Week was originally created to honor the memory of U.S. Special Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, who gave his life in the fight against drugs. He was killed after discovering a multibillion dollar drug ring in Mexico that slipped drugs over the border and had a history of violent encounters. The week has since evolved into a country-wide week dedicated to preventing drug use and showing the pledge that many students have taken to stay drug free.
