Red Ribbon Week began as an effort to develop an attitude of intolerance to the use of drugs.  It was after the death of Enrique Camarena, an undercover drug enforcement officer who was brutally murdered, that parent group across the nation wore and displayed RED RIBBONS to show support of a drug free community.
 

Please Join the students, teachers, and school personnel of Macon County in showing support for this upcoming event.  We encourage all businesses in Macon County to place a RED RIBBON or BOW at the front of their business to let everyone know they are supporting this endeavor.
