CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Burns Valley School Red Ribbon Week took place Oct. 21-25.

The National Campaign chose this years theme as “A Healthy Me is Drug Free.”

Burns Valley students commemorated this theme with a door decorating contest, dress-up days, lunchtime learning and presentations.

The week began with the students receiving bracelets reminding them to be drug free.

A “smoothie bike,” on loan from North Coast Opportunities, helped students to get activity while choosing healthy snacks.

Lake County Public Health Department hosted a booth on campus to show students the dangers of smoking.

Burns Valley seventh and eight graders also participated in a Team DUI presentation where they learned how their choices about drinking and driving can make a difference and save lives.

The students culminated the week with hula hoop and basketball hoop contests.
