Quartzsite, AZ - Some of our local QES (Quartzsite Elementary School District #4) students were hon-
ored during Quartzsite Town Council Meeting on Tuesday, October 24, 2023. Their artwork was on
display at Town Hall for Red Ribbon Week. Mrs. Carter spoke about the goal of educating students to
live a drug-free and healthy lifestyle. Students also presented Council Members with red ribbons in a
show of solidarity in choosing a drug-free life.
