In the month of February, Club Live (CL) students at Woodcrest Junior

High in Ontario and Cobalt Institute of Math and Science in Victorville

each organized and hosted an anti-bullying lunch activity at their school.

The activity was to encourage their peers to pledge against bullying. The

CL students at each of the indicated middle schools created a banner

where other students could trace their hand and write their name or a

slogan inside of it. Students that pledged received a free CL incentive to

thank them for their commitment and participation against bullying. The

lunch activities were a complete success as numerous pledges were

received from students at each school.

Friday Night Live (FNL) students at Citrus Valley High

School hosted a SAMHSA Town Hall Meeting to

prevent underage drinking among their peers. Students

addressed the issue of underage drinking at events

such as prom and grad night. Attendees included

school officials, student organizations, community

partners, and local law enforcement. Topics of

discussion included underage drinking at school events, school policies, and local social host

ordinance. Students proposed several ideas to reduce underage drinking among their peers

utilizing several media platforms to disseminate a message of being safe and sober. Students

will collaborate with clubs on campus and community partners to put their ideas into action. Way

to go Blackhawks, keep up the great work!

Students from Operation New Hope,

Buena Vista High School, and Oak View High School attended a field trip to California State University San Bernardino. Students were given a presentation on the admission process, a full campus tour, and a private tour of the art department. Students enjoyed the demonstrations of glass blowing and ceramics given by Alison Petty and current graduate students.
