Goodbye to Alaska, hello to Lower 48 for nation’s Capitol Christmas tree in Washington state
Members of the Alaska National Guard say that in being part of a Klatt Elementary assembly, students will end up deciding to say no to drug and tobacco products.
The assembly — which also featured representatives from the American Lung Association, Drug Enforcement Administration, Anchorage Police Department and Alaska State Troopers — also delivered an anti-bullying message.
What would end up being a surprise for the students Monday came as school leaders wrapped up Red Ribbon Week, the longest-running drug and violence prevention program in the United States.
