Hello-

October 23rd through October 31st is Red Ribbon Week. Red Ribbon Week is a part of the National Red Ribbon Campaign which is sponsored by The National Family Partnership, NFP. The mission of NFP is to lead and support our nation’s families and communities in nurturing the full potential of healthy and drug-free youth.

Throughout this week, the LT community will be promoting drug awareness by celebrating Red Ribbon Week. The theme for 2022 is “Celebrate Life. Live Drug Free.” The goal of this week is to raise awareness about Red Ribbon Week and the harmful effects of drugs and illegal substances and focus on positive healthy choices.  Please partner with us and discuss this message at home, at the dinner table, at family outings, and with friends and extended family. 

To support Red Ribbon Week, you can:
  1. Review this fact sheet
  2. Talk to your kids about the dangers of drug use and abuse and set clear rules about not using drugs
  3. Work together with the parents of your children’s friends to set common boundaries and monitor behavior so that your rules are respected and reinforced
  4. Set a good example for your children by not using illegal drugs or medicine without a prescription
  5. Visit www.redribbon.org to learn more and spread the message to family and friends

At school, students will engage in activities that promote a drug-free and healthy lifestyle.
