CONGRATULATIONS to the Winners of the 2021 PSA Contest

 

WHAT: Breathe Healthily, Live Happily Anti-Smoking/Vaping PSA contest winners

WHO: ALL SFUSD HIGH, MIDDLE SCHOOLS and ELEMENTARY 4th/5th graders

WHEN: 2020-2021

WHY:  Each year, the SFUSD Tobacco Use Prevention Education Program, under the guidance of the Student Health Advisory Board, holds a Public Service Announcement contest to make their peers and school communities aware of the importance of being tobacco and vape free. With that effort, the use of tobacco products among SFUSD elementary, middle, and high school students have decreased over the past years. See helpful link number three for SFUSD Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) Trend Data.
