Promoting Healthy Lifestyles: CVUSD Celebrates Red Ribbon Week
Red Ribbon Week provides an opportunity to discuss drug-free choices and positively model for students by encouraging parents, staff, and students to wear symbolic red ribbons to make a visible statement that we are strongly committed to live a healthy life!
Californians launched the Red Ribbon campaign in 1985 for Drug Free Youth. The purpose of the campaign is to draw attention to the need to eliminate the demand for illegal drugs.
This year, Red Ribbon Week will be celebrated October 23-31, 2025. Throughout Red Ribbon Week, CVUSD schools hold special spirit week events to build school connectedness and show our commitment to healthy lifestyles!
At the Wednesday, October 8, 2025 Board of Education meeting Adoption of Annual Resolution #25/26-10 - Red Ribbon Week was approved.
