Link joined in the National Red Ribbon Week, the most extensive drug abuse awareness and prevention campaign in the U.S. The week of October 23-27 was dedicated to encouraging our students to make healthy choices and live drug-free lives. On October 23rd, Upper House students were introduced to the theme in a virtual Morning Circle. Daily announcements inspired students to make positive choices. Lower House students tied red ribbons on trees around the 23 Pennsylvania Avenue building. DEA Agent Timothy McMahon visited Link and spoke to scholars in grades 5-8 about the dangers of drugs and how to spot and avoid them. On the 27th, students and staff wore red to support the week’s theme – “Be Kind to Your Mind. Be Drug Free.”
