Red Ribbon Week is an alcohol, tobacco, and other drug and violence prevention awareness campaign observed annually in October in the United States. It began as a tribute to fallen DEA special agent Enrique Camerena in 1985. According to the United States DEA, Red Ribbon Week is the nations largest and longest-running drug awareness and prevention program. Red Ribbon Week began after the kidnapping, torture, and murder of DEA agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena in 1985. After the men were found murdered, citizens in Camarena's hometown of Calexico, California donned red ribbons in his honor. The red ribbon became their symbol for prevention in order to reduce the demand of illegal drugs. California Congressman Duncan Hunter and teacher David Dhillon launched "Camarena Clubs" in California high schools. “Camerana Club” was later recognized as Red Ribbon Week.
Ms. Nichols' class learned about solar system and about the individual planets. After learning about stars and constellations, they were instructed to make a diagram of our solar system, and present it to the class. They really put time and effort into this partner project.

Congratulations to the Omaha Nation Lady Chiefs for defeating Flandreau tonight in volleyball.
Mr. Spawn, Mr. Ariza, and Ms. Kneifl were able to take Omaha Nation students on a tour of TMCO in Lincoln. The Total Manufacturing Company specializes in one-stop, concept-to-completion metal manufacturing services. TMCO can finish a product from any stage, be it create, fabrication, paint, assembly—or if you wish, the whole works. This could be a great career opportunity.
