From October 31 to November 4, 2005, Salazar Elementary School celebrated CC! Week in conjunction with Red Ribbon Week, the anti-drug program. Teachers highlighted the Pillars with special lesson plans, according to the Nueces County Record-Star, and students wore six-colored T-shirts that read: "I Show Good Character." Maintenance workers also painted Salazar's standing pillars in the Six Pillar colors: red, yellow, purple, orange, green, and blue. And students at the "gifted and talented" level held a program called "CHARACTER COUNTS!" where they described the Pillars, showed how the route to character lies through sound decision making, and explained the virtues of being drug-free.
