(Deming) – More than 5,000 red ribbons were handed out this week in Deming schools during Drug Awareness Week.
Deming Elks Lodge supplied the ribbons which were given to every student and teacher in the district.
The red awareness ribbons are used as a symbol for the prevention of abusive drug use.
Elks Exalted Ruler George Torres said one of the goals of the Elks is to prevent children from using drugs, adding that the ribbons are a visual way to bring attention to the problems of drug use.
In addition to the ribbons, several gift cards were handed out to selected students.
