McCoy Celebrates 2018 Book Character Day with a campus-wide parade. Students dressed as a character from their favorite book and walked in a parade through the school. The event is held during Red Ribbon Week. Campuses throughout CFBISD celebrate Red Ribbon Week in different ways. National Red Ribbon Week began 1988 in honor of murdered DEA Agent, Enrique Camarena. The campaign seeks to educate students on the dangers of drugs and addiction, while promoting activities that inspire young minds. At the end of the parade, students went to the gym to watch acrobats from Team Big Air performed basketball trick shots. The acrobats demonstrated that hard work, good choices, and avoiding bad choices such as drugs, allowed them to achieve their dreams.
