San Jacinto Elementary School came up with the theme “iBelieve In Me…iAm Drug Free.” Each grade level started with a different activity. Kindergartners put tissue paper around an “award” ribbon and filled in “________ is drug free!” with their names. First graders heard a story about Kiki Camarena, then wrote summary essays. Second grade teachers made a large paper beehive that read, “iBelieve iWill Bee Drug Free;” students signed bees. On recipe cards, each third grader wrote a recipe for maintaining a drug free life. Fourth graders received paper iPhone cutouts and wrote text messages on them about staying drug free. Fifth graders designed their own bumper stickers that began with “iWill…”. Students wore red for “iKnow iAm ‘Red’y To Say No To Drugs.” They donned green for “iCan Keep My Mind And The Earth Clean.” Slippers were worn for “iWill Not Let Drugs Slip Up On Me!” Jeans and school spirit t-shirts were the attire for “iAm A ‘Jean’ius Because iAm Drug Free.” 1950s sock hop clothing showed “San Jacinto Elementary Rocks Drug Free.” Each day, students received gifts purchased from Positive Promotions, such as red ribbons, bookmarks, lollipops, and shaped-rubber wristbands. The school’s technology teacher created a video. In it, “private detectives” on “Mission Red Ribbon” investigated how the drug prevention week started. With the help of a group of students called the iTeam, they also uncovered information about drugs and how to resist them.
