+Flagler families encouraged to enter Red Ribbon Week contest
The National Family Partnership recently announced the national contest for its 27th-annual Red Ribbon Week, Oct. 23-31.
Red Ribbon Week is the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the country. In 1985, after the murder of a Drug Enforcement Administration agent, parents, youth and teachers in communities across the country began wearing red ribbons as a symbol of their commitment to raise awareness of the destruction caused by drugs.
This year, families can get involved by entering a contest to promote awareness in their neighborhoods and win a drug prevention grant for their schools.
Families can enter Red Ribbon Week's contest to win a $1,000 grant for their school and a new iPad for their home. To participate in the contest families and students will decorate the front of their homes with this year's message: "The Best Me Is Drug Free."
To enter, students should work with their parents to decorate their front door, mailbox or fence with this year’s theme. Take a photo with the family and their Red Ribbon Week decoration, then upload to www.redribbon.org/contest or www.facebook.com/RedRibbonWeek by Nov. 2 (must be parents or 18-plus to upload photos).
Then, the voting begins. Ask family and friends to vote for your entry at www.redribbon.org/vote Nov. 2-16. Ten winners from regions across the U.S. will win. Winners will be announced in December, at events at their schools.
