This October the Leadership Council at Crandon Middle School is promoting a community-wide
Red Ribbon walk.The goal of the council is to have students, families and community members join
forces to promote the importance of being a drug free community.
Red Ribbon Week is a national campaign that runs from October 23-31. The walk will begin at 5pm
on Wednesday, October 25th and will start at the Courthouse Square , downtown Crandon . We
will walk together as a community that stands against drugs from the courthouse to the school using
the walking trail.
Along the route, participants will have an opportunity to view positive messages on being drug
free which will be posted at local businesses and spots along the trail. Once at the school, a light
snack will be served and Mike McGowan, a nationally known trainer, consultant and motivational
speaker, will present on the importance of coming together as a community to stand against drug
abuse.
