AMS teachers showing their school spirit by twinning for today’s Red Ribbon Week theme — Twin Day! 👯♀️❤️
Saying no to drugs is easier with a friend. Did you know that many famous athletes, musicians, and actors choose to stay drug-free and encourage others to do the same? Simone Biles, Stephen Curry and Taylor Swift all focus on staying healthy, supporting staying disciplined and avoiding harmful substances. You don’t have to be an Olympic champion or a professional musician to find your natural high. Activities like listening to music, or laughing with friends release a chemical called dopamine, give us a natural high.
Think about what you enjoy and make an effort to spend some time doing it everyday! This will help you to naturally feel good while staying drug free.
Tomorrow, we are going to “Color your life drug free” by wearing bright, rainbow, or tie dye clothing.

So , what exactly is Red Ribbon Week?
Red Ribbon Week is a campaign in response to the murder of Drug Enforcement Agent Enrique “Kiki” Camarena. Camarena was tortured and killed in Mexico in 1985. After his murder, angered parents and youth in communities across the country began wearing Red Ribbons as a symbol of their commitment to raise awareness of the killing and destruction caused by drugs in America — and that simple act grew into a nationwide tradition that millions of students celebrate every October.
Tomorrow’s theme is “Team Up Against Drugs.” Students and staff are encouraged to dress in team jerseys to show your support for Red Ribbon Week.
