Each fall, Red Ribbon Week is celebrated across America to promote the importance of a healthy, drug-free lifestyle among our youth. The outstanding students selected as Red Ribbon leaders are individuals who exemplify the 6 pillars of Character promoted by the national Character Counts initiative and the Drug Education Council. These include the qualities of trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring, and citizenship.
Please congratulate Foley High School's Red Ribbon Leader, senior Matthew Stinson. He will be quite busy making plans to increase awareness and will be especially busy the week of October 27th!
