Red Ribbon Week will be observed the week of October 27 through October 31 at La Mirada schools. Red Ribbon Week serves as a catalyst to mobilize communities to educate youth and encourage participation in drug prevention activities.
“Red Ribbon Week educates children about the harmful effects of drug use and promotes living drug free,” says Safety Education Officer Mary Cipres.
The Public Safety Team is proud to support the weeklong celebration and will be attending Red Ribbon rallies at La Mirada schools. The rallies help raise awareness of the harmful effects of drug use.
Students and adults are highly encouraged to make a commitment to living drug free. For more information on Red Ribbon Week, contact the La Mirada Community Sheriff’s Station at (562) 902-2986 or visit cityoflamirada.org.
