Red Ribbon Week Celebration

Garden City Public Schools will celebrate Red Ribbon Week October 27 – 31. There will be a number of activities going on at school around the district to celebrate Red Ribbon week.  A number of the schools in the district are promoting the week with dress up days to promote Red Ribbon week.

Red Ribbon Week is the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the country. Although the start end dates can vary slightly depending on the organization and source, Red Ribbon Week generally takes place the last full week in October, with the weekends before and following the last full week included as appropriate celebration dates.

Red Ribbon Week serves as a vehicle for communities and individuals to take a stand for the hopes and dreams of our children through a commitment to drug prevention and education and a personal commitment to live drug free lives with the ultimate goal being the creation of drug free America.
