Just Say No Club
Just Say No Wall of Heroes
The Just Say No Club made a wall of their heroes to support them in not using drugs and getting into trouble. Heroes were parents, relatives, military, presidents, sports players like Tiger Woods, and important people in history such as Susan B. Anthony, Rosa Parks, and Christopher Columbus. It is always good to have role models to look up to and people who share your values.
Just Say No Field Trip 2007
National Archives
On November 6, 2007, the Just Say No Club went on a field trip to the National Archives with their parents to view the Schoolhouse to the Presidents display and to see the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights, and the Constitution. We learned many facts about our Presidents, such as which President met his wife in kindergarten, which President said that "Everything good in my life began here" (meaning college). There were many more questions on a scavenger hunt in which we participated. We saw Jimmy Carter's fourth grade arithmetic workbook, and many of the problems were the same as we do today.
There were also many interactive displays for the students to explore like creating your own Presidential seal or printing a copy of the Declaration of Independence with your own signature on it.
The National Archives maintains all records, stores them and provides access to them. The 11 Presidential libraries are operated by the National Archives.
It was a fun, educational day of learning. Please join us next year on our next adventure.
2006-2007
On November 7, 2006, the Just Say No Club went on a field trip with their parents to have a private tour of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Washington D.C. Parents and children got to see where our paper currency is printed, as well as postage stamps, White House invitations, Treasury obligations and other U.S. securities. There is a website for more information at www.moneyfactory.gov and worksheets and games for students at http://www1.publicdebt.treas.gov/sav/savkids.htm.
Just Say No Club field trips are annual activities to let parents support the message of not using drugs, by getting students involved with their families in something positive.
