NILES - This week students at Niles' Eastside School observed the 18th annual Red Ribbon Week. This is a week dedicated to the ongoing battle of drug prevention.
The students are taught to stay away from drugs and to make healthy life choices.
Thanks to a generous $500 donation by the Niles Elks Club the students were able to celebrate the week by wearing red bracelets, which symbolized the commitment toward a drug free America.
Parents were also given information about how to talk to their children about not using drugs.
