This week MVSD schools are participating in Red Ribbon Week and students are pledging to live drug, alcohol, tobacco and vaping free lives. Joining in the nati...onal drug prevention campaign, schools are holding virtual activities and fun dress up days promoting being drug-free while honoring Kiki Camarena, a DEA agent who died while fighting substance abuse. The El Monte Police Department created a Red Ribbon Week video for schools to utilize during Distance Learning, featuring the Police Chief, School Resource Officers, Safety Officers, Detectives, K-9 Officers, SWAT Officers, Tactical Flight Officers and the Chief Pilot, promoting this year’s Red Ribbon Week theme Be Happy. Be Brave. Be Drug Free. The officers shared how much they miss the students and encouraged them to work hard in school, keep focused on their goals and stay away from drugs, alcohol, tobacco and vaping. MVSD greatly appreciates the efforts and partnership of the El Monte Police Department for their continued support of our students and schools. See more
