Red Ribbon Week encourages
youth to avoid drugs, alcohol
By David Sykes
Red Ribbon Week is an
alcohol and drug prevention
a w a r e n e s s c a m p a ig n
observed annually across
America in October, and last
week students in Heppner
participated as well.
On Monday the students
attended an assembly where
they watched two videos.
One was called “ They
Lied” and spoke about how
people using drugs will
lie to their peers about its
effects on themselves and
others. One of the negative
outcomes o f drug use is
how it not only hurts the
person using them, but the
whole family.
