Next week is Red Ribbon Week. Red Ribbon Week is an annual alcohol, tobacco, and other drug, and violence prevention campaign observed in October in the United States. It is the nation's largest and longest-running drug awareness program, originating in 1985 as a tribute to DEA special agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena. Please see the calendar for our spirit days.

Buffalo Public Schools supports Red Ribbon Week, October 23–31, 2025 — promoting drug and violence prevention through Student Support Services. See the Parent/School Planning Guide for details: https://5il.co/3rh9z
