This year, FUHSD participated in the third year of a three year grant for Tier II of Tobacco Use Prevention Education (TUPE) in partnership with the Santa Clara County Office of Education (SCCOE).
In honor of Take Down Tobacco month, the student-led Peer Advocate Advisory Council (PAAC), part of the SCCOE TUPE program, hosted the third annual FUHSD Take Down Tobacco Competition.
The competition included all high school students in the district, with the goal of creating a project that promotes tobacco prevention education among youth. The competition laid out four unique submission criteria: writing, artwork, video and mobile app development. The submissions were to be educational, engaging, and geared towards youth audiences. The team at PAAC judged the projects based on their creativity, effectiveness, and relevance to the theme of tobacco prevention education. The award winners were honored at the May 19 Board Meeting.
