Although most campuses have their own dress up days and activities planned for the week, CCISD will kick off the campaign on Monday, October 27th with ALL students and staff WEARING RED!

The Red Ribbon campaign began in 1985 following the murder of DEA Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camerena. NATIONAL FAMILY PARTNERSHIP launched the initiative to raise awareness about the devastating impact of drug abuse in America. Today, Red Ribbon Week is the nation's largest and longest-running drug prevention campaign, encouraging communities to take a stand for healthy, drug-free lifestyles.

"Life is a Puzzle, Solve it Drug Free."
