Red Ribbon Week Assembly
Our Drug Awareness Assembly puts forth a power drug, alcohol, and smoking prevention message. To engage attention and get our message across memorably, we employ magic, comedy, audience interaction, and for younger children, a little puppetry. A study guide is included in our Red Ribbon Show to extend the learning into the classroom.
Winners Aren’t Users
October is Red Ribbon month. It used to be called Red Ribbon Week, but today, many schools have expanded it to a month. Red Ribbon Month was started in 1985 when a Drug Enforcement Administration agent was kidnapped and murdered in Mexico by a drug cartel. Today an estimated 80 million people participate in Red Ribbon activities annually.
“The kids (K-8) loved you and your drug message was genuine. It was an awesome performance.”
Donna Mueller, Principal, Valmeyer Elementary School

Building Self Esteem
Our Winners Aren’t Users drug awareness assembly helps build students’ self esteem. Low self esteem is a common reason why youth get involved with substances. By helping students feel better about themselves, we help them avoid the need to get involved with drugs, alcohol, and tobacco.
“You were great to work with. This was one of our most successful drug awareness weeks we have had. I have received nothing but positive feedback from all the schools. I can’t wait to have you guys back again.”
