Texas Communities Mark Red Ribbon Week

Red Ribbon Week, observed nationally from Oct. 23 to 31, is bringing schools, law enforcement and community organizations together to promote drug prevention and healthy choices. In Anderson, police are encouraging young people to make safe, drug-free decisions, while San Angelo students heard about resisting peer pressure, speaking up for themselves and supporting classmates. Officers and deputies also visited schools in Texas communities, urging students to avoid drugs and consider how their choices can shape their futures.
