Red Ribbon Week October 23 - October 31

Red Ribbon Week, October 23 through October 31, is being highlighted in McHenry County with a 10:00 a.m. ceremony on October 22 in the Grand Jury Room of the McHenry County Courthouse. Representative students from area schools will give presentations on how their schools are participating in Red Ribbon Week and why they believe it is important to say no to drugs. Over 30 students and educators will join  McHenry County State's Attorney, Louis A. Bianchi, Regional Superintendent Gene Goeglein, County Board Chairman Ken Koehler and a member of the judiciary court for the ceremony.

This year's theme is "I Am Drug Free" and all students in Grades K-8 will receive red ribbon bracelets so they may show their support and personal commitment for this cause.
