As Red Ribbon Week approaches Elk Hills School District would like to share with you how this week came to be- please watch this short video to learn more: https://youtu.be/wDkvX9yZz34.
Not only is Red Ribbon Week a reminder why staying alcohol and drug free is so important, but it is also a week of memorial for DEA Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena who, in 1985, lost his life fighting to keep drugs off the streets and out of the hands of children. Join us in remembering him and pledging to celebrate life by leading a drug-free lifestyle!
Red Ribbon Week begins Monday, October 24th and runs through Halloween.
Elk Hills Families, just a reminder that parent/teacher conferences have been moved to next week so we only have a minimum day on Wednesday this week. Next week every day is a minimum day.
Thank you
