Callahan Elementary School
Callahan, Florida
The theme at Callahan Elementary was “Making Strides To Lead A Drug Free And Healthy Lifestyle.” Giant footprints decorated the hallway floors. The footprints had anti-drug slogans, such as “Drugs Will Get You Nowhere.” Smaller footprints adorned the front entrance, water fountains and lunchroom windows. Students were advised to make footprints worth following. The week started with a school spirit assembly. The next day the school turned red; classes with 100% of students wearing red received Positive Promotions stickers and wristbands. For “Walk Away From Drugs Day,” students spent their 30-minute recess on the PE track. Some children participated in foot races while others counted their steps with pedometers. Everyone received “Drug Free: The Healthy Way To Be” bookmarks. Later in the week, students and teachers made more strides against drugs by marching in a character book parade.
