Warren County Kicks off Red Ribbon Week

Warren County Schools kicked off Red Ribbon Week Friday with a ceremony at the courthouse proclaiming October 27-31 Red Ribbon Week in Warren County. On hand for the proclamation was chairman of the Warren County Commission, John Graham.

The Warren County Concert Band was on hand and played a couple of selections for those in attendance.

Red Ribbon Week is co-sponsored by the driver's education program at Warren County High School. Scott Richardson, director of the driver's education programs stated, "One of our main goals in starting the program was to aid in promotion of drug and alcohol awareness among our student and how the use of alcohol and drugs is the number one cause of traffic accidents."

Red Ribbon Week will conclude with an assembly on Friday. Keynote speaker for the event will be former football great, Eddie Lee Ivery.
