This week PCSD Students are participating in Red Ribbon Week® 2023 – this year’s theme is: Be Kind To Your Mind. Live Drug Free.
DID YOU KNOW?
Children of parents who talk to their teens regularly about drugs are 42% less likely
to use drugs than those who don’t; yet, only a quarter of teens report having these
conversations. Red Ribbon Week® (October 23-31), the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the nation, is your opportunity to get the ongoing conversation started. Visit www.redribbon.org to learn more about Red Ribbon Week® and get tips for talking to your kids about drugs.
