During Red Ribbon Week we focused on medication safety and drug awareness with our students! Red Ribbon Week started in 1985 to honor D.E.A agent Enrique Camarena, who lost his life in the line of duty. Red Ribbon Week has grown into a national observance - a time for schools and communities across the nation to come together in the fight against drugs. Red Ribbon week will be celebrated across the nation from October 23rd to October 31st, 2017. The 2017 theme for Red Ribbon week will be "Your Future is Key so Stay Drug Free". At Hazelwood, your School Counselors as well as your Media Specialist will take the week to focus on medication safety and the importance of staying drug free. Your child will be bringing home a flyer that will have contest information on it, prizes include an iPad for your home and $1,000 for your school. The flyer will also reference dress-up days for that week at Hazelwood!
