By
The Highland County Press-
The Lynchburg-Clay Local Schools district recently held an essay contest in recognition of Red Ribbon Week.

For Lynchburg-Clay Middle School, seventh grade student Mattie Magee was named the winner. Lynchburg-Clay High School senior Allison Kohus won the high school essay contest.

Congress established Red Ribbon Week in 1988. The week raises awareness of drug use and the problems related to drugs and encourages parents, educators, business owners and other community organizations to promote drug-free lifestyles. Red Ribbon Week encourages the entire community to adopt healthy, drug-free lifestyles.

The theme of this year’s national Red Ribbon Week campaign, held Oct. 26-30, was “Be Happy. Be Brave. Be Drug Free.”
