October 28, 2019- The Bear Creek School is observing Red Ribbon Week with a variety of activities such as wearing red to school and creating an Act of Kindness banner to demonstrate the students’ commitment to a healthy and safe learning environment. A national event occurring annually during the last full week of October, Red Ribbon Week focuses on educating children about health choices, especially the decision to avoid drugs and alcohol.

The Red Ribbon celebration brings millions of people together each year to raise awareness regarding the need for alcohol, tobacco, drug and violence prevention; early intervention; and treatment services. It is the largest, most visible prevention awareness campaign observed annually in the United States.
