Mary Hull Elementary hosts thousands for Red Ribbon Week parade

This is the longest-running Red Ribbon Parade in NISD’s history, according to the district

SAN ANTONIO – This morning, Mary Hull Elementary School hosted parents, students, educators and members of the DEA Task Force for a Red Ribbon Parade.

The floats, convertibles and student groups marched through the streets near the school on Remuda Drive on the city’s West Side.

Students will be pledging to say no to drugs, alcohol, and vaping while celebrating their commitment with activities and an assembly.

This is Northside Independent School District’s longest-running Red Ribbon Parade in history, according to the district. It’s been going on for 25 years, and educators say it helps students have fun while they learn about important lessons.

“It really does take all of us To encourage our kids to empower themselves to say to drugs and alcohol and make those healthy choices,” says Mary Hill School Counselor Nerieda Montoya.
