TCOE’s CHOICES Prevention Program is traveling across Tulare County this week in participation of National Red Ribbon Week.
During their presentation at Golden Valley Elementary School (Orosi) on Tuesday, CHOICES specialists talked to students about the history of Red Ribbon Week, the dangers of drugs, and the importance of making good choices. They also showed students the difference between a healthy lung and a smoker’s lung. This display allowed students to understand how difficult it is to breathe with lungs impacted by smoking.

Celebrating Excellence: Margaret Nunes Receives the Sundale Pursuing Victory With Honor Award
Nominator Clint Wolsey shares, "The Pursuing Victory with Honor Award is given annually to one athlete who best exemplifies the values that define Sundale Athletics. This year's recipient is Margaret Nunes, who truly flips a switch when she steps onto the playing field, quickly transforming her easygoing personality and friendly smile into the heart of a fierce competitor. She plays with passion and intensity while never losing sight of what matters most, consistently showing respect for the game, her coaches, her teammates, and her opponents. Margaret's dedication is unmatched: she never missed a single practice, was always willing to help with equipment, and consistently did the little things that make a team successful. That same commitment shines in the classroom, where she is one of only two graduates to achieve perfect attendance. Margaret will continue competing in water polo, basketball, and swim at Tulare Western."
