Student leaders from Tigard High’s STUD program and the LEAP Youth Alliance presented the board with an overview of their prevention outreach and Red Ribbon Week plans. Presenters identified themselves as Daniella, Eliza and Megan and described recent activities including club rush, attendance at the State Spark Youth Forum in Bend and participation in local events such as the city’s festival and homecoming parade.
The students previewed Red Ribbon Week activities (pledge and poster contest, wear‑red day, a mental‑health 'hope rally,' a raffle and tabling at Friday’s football game and a puzzle contest to close the week). LEAP representatives (Leo Cowley and Kosey Slider) said they will partner with student groups to table at the Tiger‑Tualatin game on Oct. 30 and asked the district for permission to administer a brief student survey to help shape prevention messaging.
Board members praised the student leaders for their outreach and thanked them for presenting; the superintendent and board expressed appreciation for the outreach and encouraged continued partnership with community prevention organizations.
