Streets Alive builds on the wildly popular Bicycle Sundays where Cañada Road is closed to traffic. Hundreds of walkers, bicyclists, runners and others throng Cañada to enjoy the car-free outdoors. Streets Alive is part of a worldwide movement to turn busy streets into car-free places for fun and exercise. Cities from South American to Northern Europe are turning busy streets into safe streets. Now it’s our turn!

October
Red Ribbon Week, the nation’s oldest and largest drug prevention campaign, takes place the last seven days of October each year. Established to commemorate the life, mission, and sacrifice of DEA special agent, Enrique “Kiki” Camarena, who lost his life fighting in the war against drugs, Red Ribbon Week brings awareness to the growing drug problem in the United States and presents an opportunity for schools, local organizations, families, and individuals, to make a unified effort to create drug free communities. Each year millions of people participate in activities that call attention to the dangers related to the use of tobacco, alcohol, and drug abuse and that reaffirms their pledge to remain drug free. East Palo Alto schools and organizations are encouraged to take part in this year’s campaign by planning activities and events centered on drug education and prevention. Some recommendations include decorating schools and other community buildings with red ribbons and banners, passing out red ribbons for students and staff members to wear, organizing a school rally with a guest speaker, planning lessons that encourage students to remain drug free, hosting essay, poster, or journalism contests, etc. |
