October 23-27th, MSD joined with
hundreds of other schools across the U.S. The first Red Ribbon Celebration was organized
in 1986 by a grassroots organization of parents concerned about the
destruction caused by alcohol and drug abuse. The red ribbon was adopted as
a symbol of the movement in honor of Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, an agent with
the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration who was kidnapped and killed while
investigating drug traffickers. The campaign has reached millions of
children and has been recognized by the U.S. Congress. |

Stark Elementary observed Red Ribbon Week '06 with many different activities to endorse healthy lifestyles. The students created ceiling tiles that promoted a healthy lifestyle. To become more aware of mobility problems that resemble the effects of alcohol they spun and then tried to perform activities that involved balance. They signed pledges to lead a healthy lifestyle. A commemoration quilt was made. Each student painted a square in the quilt promoting a healthy lifestyle. The presentation of the quilt to Stark School was held on Friday, October 27th and each student was awarded a Special Achievement certificate. A red-fruit refreshment buffet ended the event. |
