This week, the Wolf Pack will celebrate Red Ribbon Week. Red Ribbon Week started as a grassroots effort to honor Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, a Drug Enforcement Administration Agent who was tortured and killed in Mexico in 1985. In honor of Kiki's memory and his battle against illegal drugs, friends and neighbors began to wear red badges of satin. Parents then began to form coalitions using Camarena as their model while embracing his belief that one person can make a difference. These coalitions adopted the symbol of Camarena's memory, the Red Ribbon. Today, the Red Ribbon serves as a catalyst to mobilize communities to educate youth and encourage participation in drug prevention activities.
In supporting the vision of RRW of keeping all students healthy and drug free, the CTMS PALS created dress up days for our pack. As you prepare for dress up days, all items must follow the CTMS dress policy and there will be no face coverings. See below for the list of dress up days.
PALS will host a pep rally on Thursday, October 31 at 8:15 a.m. in honor of Red Ribbon Week.
