Bucklin High School SADD Chapter Celebrates Red Ribbon Week
October 30, 2009
The Bucklin High School SADD (Student’s Against Destructive
Decisions) chapter took part in several Red Ribbon Week activities
during the week of October 26th.
The members prepared for the week by placing red ribbons on doors
in the elementary, junior high, and high school.
On Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, several SADD members went to the
elementary and junior high school classrooms to talk to students
about the dangers of smoking cigarettes and chewing tobacco, using
drugs, and drinking alcohol. Each day brought about a new topic and
a new activity. The elementary students entered a coloring contest
while the junior high students tried to make the best class banner.
The contest pieces were displayed in the front lobby and elementary
hallway. Awards were given at an assembly on Thursday.
On Thursday, the SADD members held two assemblies. The first
assembly involved the preschool – 4th grade students. The
organization had put together a game show that was very much like
Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader, although their show was
entitled, Are You Smarter Than A SADD Member. Under the direction
of hosts Abbi P. and Tanner B., contestants Rylie P. and Rowdy S.
competed to win a million dollars (or in their case, a glow in the
dark miniature basketball and goal). Several students were chosen
to be a part of the class in order to help Rylie and Rowdy win.
Following the game show, random numbers were drawn and red
footballs with a drug free message were handed out. Prizes for the
week’s activities were also awarded.
Winners of the coloring contest received an I’ve Got Better Things To Do Than Drugs bag while second place winners got a candy bar and pencil. The winners were:
Preschool: 1st place - McKenna S - 2nd place - Justice D
Kindergarten: 2nd place – Lyric Marquez
First Grade – 1st place – Josh S.– 2nd place – Ridge E.
2nd Grade – 1st place – Kellie R. – 2nd place – Mackenzie B.
3rd Grade – 1st place – Daulton W. – 2nd place – Kevin T.
4th Grade – 1st place – Hannah K. – 2nd place – Rylie P.
The assembly concluded with each student receiving a glow in the
dark band that read – Drugs are Scary!
The junior high assembly started off with the game show Are Your
Smarter Than a 5th Grader as well. This time 5th graders made up
the class that tried to beat various contestants. The game
continued until one contestant reached and correctly answered the
million dollar questions. Kim Seuss was the final winner, with the
help of Jac Curtis, Logan Davis, and Alex Long. 5th grade students
who tried to beat the junior high were: Alivia J., Sierra C.,
Alicia G., Hunter D., Cameron B., and James S. Each received a
prize for their participation. The 8th Grade class was awarded the
prize for best banner of the week with their message of Knocking
Our Drugs and Alcohol. All banner are on display in the school
hallway. The assembly concluded with each 5th – 8th grade student
receiving a Stay Sharp Be Drug Free pencil pouch after they signed
a pledge banner stating they would remain drug and alcohol
free.
The week’s activities concluded at the Red Ace v Fowler football
game where red ribbons were tied to car antennae.
