GRS Elem. Participates in National Campaign

RGCCISD Press Release
General Ricardo Sanchez Elementary students and staff participated in the national campaign- Red Ribbon Week- on October 25-29, 2010.  The campaign is to teach students about the history of this event, the dangers of substance abuse and the importance of choosing to be drug-free.  Community members from Rio Grande City Police Department, Roma Police Department, Texas Department of Public Safety and others volunteered their time to give live motivational presentations. Their main focus was on the dangers of substance abuse and their consequences.  Students were introduced to a K-9 agent and became familiar with its duties; they also met McGruff who came to teach kids how to stay safe.  On behalf of General Ricardo Sanchez Elementary students and staff we would like to thank all the volunteers for their unconditional support.
