National Red Ribbon Week is the last week of October. Participants are encouraged to celebrate Red Ribbon Week to symbolize their commitment to a healthy, drug-free lifestyle and to create awareness of the problems related to the use of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs. 

For the Red Ribbon Week of 2011 the Pride Team of Bethel Park Decorated the Home of of the Club Pride Program at Independence Middle School. We hung posters that gave information on the amount of people who have tried or have died from a certain drug. This ranged from how many in a second to how many in the amount of time for the class to end.

We also held a poster contest at the Elementary schools in the community. the objective was for 3rd and 4th graders to draw/write anything on a poster that they thought was creative and anti-drug referencing. each grade competed against the same grade in each school. In total we got 35 number of posters. The winners from each school and grade got a gift card to Wal-mart.

To rap-up Red Ribbon Week we held a Halloween Dance at I.M.S. for all 7th and 8th graders to attend. During the dance the kids where encouraged to wear there costumes for judging and a prize.
