From October 26-30, 2026, students at Arroyo Vista, Marengo, and Monterey Hills Elementary Schools participated in a variety of events that emphasize the importance of healthy choices, confidence, and kindness. Red Ribbon Week, graciously supported by the PTAs, is a student-focused, spirited celebration that includes informational and fun activities. 

Since the mid-1980s, the National Family Partnership has encouraged schools to participate in National Red Ribbon Week. This year’s theme was “Make A Difference. Be A Hero. Stay Drug Free,” and the purpose is to raise awareness and provide support to youth about how to live healthy, drug-free lives.
