Red Ribbon Week information

Most schools mark the last week in October with activities emphasizing an anti-drug message. The message often includes warnings against smoking and abusing alcohol or prescription drugs. Here is just a sampling of events around the county:

• HUGHSON: Leadership students conduct 45-minute anti-tobacco presentations at schools. Ross Middle School held a sidewalk art competition Thursday; dress-up days included pajama day and nerd day. Fox Road Elementary collected socks and gloves for charity and items for the animal shelter; its dress-up days included wearing sunglasses for "I'm Too Cool for Drugs" day and camouflage for "Declare War on Drugs" day.

• KEYES: Keyes Charter School had anti-tobacco information at its Fall Into Books festival Thursday night. Keyes Elementary School will celebrate next week, starting Monday with its annual Pumpkin Run and Family Barbecue; dress-up days will be "Turn Your Back on Drugs" by wearing clothes backward and "Team Up Against Drugs" with team or college logo shirts.
